Completing nomination on behalf of IP user 108.223.133.136 (talk). Reason given at WT:AFD is: "I believe the entry should be deleted because it has both been a stub and an an orphan for four years, and as such is clearly unrelated or unimportant to its field. The two main authors that the article mentioned are not notable in the field of the article or elsewhere, and its two citations (one attributed to Geertz and the other to Reik) are poor." I remain neutral. jcgoble3 (talk) 00:10, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Per WP:DEL-REASON an article being a stub and an orphan are not valid deletion arguments. Also, the assessment of the two sources in the article as "poor" is ambiguous, because there's no qualification about how or why they are considered "poor". Likewise for the notion of the topic being "unimportant to its field." I've left a talkback notification on the IP's talk page to notify the initial nominator about this discussion.
