Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Factual relativism

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was NO CONSENSUS, despite having been relisted. Evidently not deletable on the back of this debate, and perhaps some editorial consideration is needed. If deletion after such consideration is still wanted, then a re-AfD might be warranted. -Splash - tk 20:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Factual relativism

Factual relativism (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Delete as non-notable, POV, and overlapping with a notable term, 'Cognitive relativism', that refers to the same concept. I found 4 referenced articles by different writers using this term. The article has been RfCed for violating NPOV. The non-notable nonPOV section of the article could be merged with cognitive relativism if people think there is something worth saving, then a redirect could be created on the existing page.

• Merge with Cognitive relativism. I disagree that the subject is non-notable or intrinsically POV, but it does seem to be the same as "cognitive relativism." Actually, "factual relativism" would seem to be the better term, at least more comprehensible to the casual reader, but "cognitive relativism" seems to be the term of art, as covered in the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Cognitive relativism is by far the better and more encyclopedic of the two articles, in any case. Llajwa 22:59, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
