This discussion was subject to a deletion review on 2011 October 19. For an explanation of the process, see Wikipedia:Deletion review. |
The result was delete. The "keep" opinions do not adequately address the violation of WP:NOR, a core policy, inherent in compiling an editors' selection of "important" works, which does not cite any reliable sources that consider these works "important". This does not prevent a recreation of this list in a form that does not require original research. Sandstein 06:05, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This does not seem like a proper subject for a WP article. How do we know which publications are important and which not? There are no references given, and even if there were they would only reflect their own authors' opinions. Wouldn't it be better to just mention the books in Sociology or History of sociology? Then each publication's importance could be explained. Wolfview (talk) 19:50, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
