Delete Essay synthesis discussion; not appropriate for Wikipedia. AllyD (talk) 06:51, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as obvious Essay, WP:OR. There's a much better article already on Nihilism which covers the Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche et al. No cause for merging, straight deletion is the answer here. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:01, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the criticism above,however there was a previous version of my article in which the verifiable fact of a meeting/interview between myself and Marmysz (2012), discussing the the possibility of an innate capacity for nihilistic thought, was posted for about half an hour. I am not sure if that was rejected or not, but I dropped those first two paragraphs in line with what I thought would fulfill Wikipedia criteria. As support for that documented and original concept of an innate capacity for nihilistic thought, the essay was written, of which I thought an excerpt could be included as they are in many other Wikipedia articles. Does anyone think that is a promising path to pursue in this case? This is not meant to be an article on nihilism or Nietzsche, but rather about several thinkers who have a new conception of the role that nihilistic thought plays in human development, with a specific focus on psychological tendencies/capacity. --Christopher Anderson (talk) 17:30, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
