[edit] Requested articles of debatable appropriateness

[edit] General - debatable requests

  • Abomunists - Not a notable philosophical theory, school, etc. More of a poetic philosophical take on the world. Anarchia 21:32, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Bihvhar [www.bihvhar.com] As far as I can work out this is a new age-ish movement spread through blogs facebook etc. Not suitable of WikiProject philosophy
  • Cartesian soul - I see no need for an article on this given the information on dualism, Descartes and souls already in Wikipedia. Anarchia 21:32, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Carnism - Earlier article was deleted through AfD process. Anarchia 21:32, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Greg Ehmka Self help courses.
  • Graphomania - "Morbid and excessive impulse to write." Not a philosophy topic.
  • Lynn Grabhorn Self help book writer, not philosopher
  • Shane Mercer (New Zealand philosopher) - Never heard of him, and I am a NZ philosopher. Anarchia 20:56, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Richard J. Rolwing Catholic social scientist/author. I assume that it is "Rowling" rather than "Rowling". I couldn't find out anything about him, and he seems not to be a philosopher.
  • L.C.B. Seamen I assume it is supposed to be L.C.B. Seaman the historian. Definitely notable, but not a philosopher.
  • Ultramaterialism AfDed in the past, with the authors consent, because the theory is the same as materialism.

[edit] Ethics - debatable requests

Concept already has two articles: Duty, and Obligation Anarchia (talk) 21:03, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Meta-relativism - the meta-ethical view

  • Jonathan David Rick, (moral philosophy, sentiments)
A quick google search suggests he is non-notable - but maybe I just haven't found the right one! Anarchia 21:46, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Morals vs Ethics - Compare and contrast the difference between morals and ethics.
  • Ethics vs Morals - Compare and contrast the difference between ethics and morals.
Explanation is in the first section of Ethics (philosophy)#Morals: "Ethics and morals are respectively akin to theory and practice. Ethics denotes the theory of right action and the greater good, while morals indicate their practice." Perhaps a redirect to this section would be better. Staeiou (talk) 21:52, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Metaphysics- debatable requests

  • DaWei Laws
Mysticism, not philosophy - seems to be a non-notable self-published book Luke is a noob. Anarchia (talk) 21:03, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
