"Knowledge in Danger" stories

[edit]

This is a list of discussions about the pages that were removed, simply because they were not liked. Some of them were deemed to be neologisms, some un-encyclopaedic... see for yourself.

Yes, that's right, this page was almost removed. Voting still continues as of now; however, it looks like i'll be allowed to have this page after all.
"Voluntarism: 1 Physosophy. the theory that the will rather than the intellect is the ultimate princile of reality. 2 a doctrine or system based on voluntary participation in a course of action. 3 another name for voluntaryism." Collins English Dictionary 1979 ISBN 000433078-1 and ISBN 000433080-3
Question: How can a word that actually made it to the dictionary in 1979 be a neologism? Answer: It can't Deletionoholics were just upset that they didn't know about it, and that their god google wasn't good enough to find it.
It was pointed out to me that the exact name of the page deleted is "Voluntarianism" not "Voluntarism", a search on http://activista.org/ did in fact prove that there is much more information on the latter than on the former, but the former also exists.
