This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Philosophy. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting.

Anyone can help maintain the list on this page:

• To add a new AfD discussion (once it has already been opened on WP:AFD):

• Look through the list of current discussions to find items related to this subject area.
• Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
• You can also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Philosophy}}<small>—~~~~</small> to it, which will inform users that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
• There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

• Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
• You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Philosophy.

Please note that adding an AfD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page, before adding it to this page.

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Relevant archived discussions (starting from September 2007) may be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Philosophy/archive.

[edit] Metaphysical fantasy

Metaphysical fantasy (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View AfD)

(Find sources: "Metaphysical fantasy" — search, news, books, scholar, images )

This genre is a new genre, but seems also to be a non-notable term. The article itself cites no sources for discussion about this genre. Though Amazon has a tag on this genre, it seems not recognised and discussed anywhere. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 16:36, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Personally (as the page's creator), I don't care either way. I just didn't think it belonged on the List of fantasy subgenres page. If you want an opinion from someone who cares, I recommend asking the person who created the material originally.

In this light, I left a note on Talk:List_of_literary_genres#AfD_notification Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 13:32, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Tim Song (talk) 00:34, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
