Removed deletion proposal[edit]
The reversal test is a supposedly important invention of a very prominent philosopher at Oxford University. The article needs to be improved, not deleted. Paul Beardsell (talk) 08:49, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
- Not every neologism invented by a philosopher is noteworthy. Is Bostrom "very prominent" in philosophy itself, or in getting himself into the papers (which he's good at)? This is part of a WP:WG of Bostrom-related fragments - he has a number of enthusiastic fans, but not a lot of outside notability. If it's not a "neologism with no third-party WP:RS evidence of currency", I urge you to produce these third-party WP:RSes showing currency of the term - David Gerard (talk) 09:10, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
- The reversal test paper currently has 133 citations according to Google Scholar, which is pretty good for a merely 9-year old philosophy paper. The citing papers and books are not just from the close academic fanclub, but all over bioethics. Anders Sandberg (talk) 14:57, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- Could be good. What are average citation rates in philosophy? (I can easily find numbers for hard sciences and social sciences, but not philosophy.) - David Gerard (talk) 16:10, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Lede section[edit]
I've moved the shortintro template because as it was, the lede was getting lost completely!
Which I guess made the point... (;-> Andrewa (talk) 21:26, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
