- Subject (discourse) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
This seems to me to be an essay/dicdef, rather than something expandable into a full article. Author was apparently "Hjørland, B" (User:BirgerH), who authored 4 out of 6 articles in the Literature section.
Delete as nominator SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:14, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Neutral per expansion. Still not sure enough to swing to keep.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:44, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Correct article is Subject (philosophy) and it already exists. Phil Sandifer (talk) 16:07, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- (reply from author) I have enlarged the entry, added many more references and views and made a clear distinction between subject understand in this article and subject understood in Subject (philosophy).
- I do hope this entry is not deleted.--BirgerH (talk) 10:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Userfy for improvement and potential reintroduction (under this title or perhaps a broader one). Has potential, but the style currently used is too conversational and unfocused. No slight intended to the article creator. Townlake (talk) 18:24, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- (SECOND reply from auther))
- I have now added a section about S.R. Ranganathans definitio9n of the term subject as well as a quote by the linguist Hutchins, why he found this term problematic. Birger Hjørland --BirgerH (talk) 09:00, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Userfy and consider merging new content into Subject (philosophy), possibly under a new section of that article. Otherwise this distinction is too minor for an encyclopedia. Perhaps better suited for Wiktionary. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 23:39, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
