ibid. Strauss and Howe's stuff; not only unsubstantiated, amateur, and uncited, but also a preposterous view of American history, in which only WHITES (and primarily MEN) are considered. Generally based on ELITE cultures too. Ignores diversity, and perpetuates a very biased view of US History. Dylanfly 16:38, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep - Last time I checked those are reasons to clean it up, not delete it. My advice: So fix it. Cool Bluetalk to me 20:53, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep per above. Nom has given reasons for cleanup, not deletion. My recommendation: WP:SOFIXIT. (The subject isn't my area of expertise, so I admittedly can't do so myself.) Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?) 21:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- very weak keep if any sources can be shown other than the two authors of the theory. There just might be some, but I'd like to see them--the advantage of having sources will include demonstrating a better POV,--based on a preliminary scan, they will not include any mainstream academic history. As for fixing it, I removed the very long list of 19th century republicans, or those claimed to be sympathetic to republican principles, or those things done in the period the authors of this theory consider "republican". Internal linkfarm. Next step--cleaning up the what links here. DGG (talk) 05:22, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Nakedly POV nomination. Hawkestone 16:35, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy keep Does not meet deletion standards. Instead should be cleaned up, SOFIXIT applies as mentioned by TenPoundHammer above Brian | (Talk) 10:18, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
