why eliminate this article?[edit]

I will soon propose eliminating this article for the following reasons: 1) It has remained for years little more than a list of categories and references. 2) The talk page is completely inactive, and revisions just terminological details. 3) I propose to describe instrumental value in detail in revising value theory, making this article even less useful.TBR-qed (talk) 16:32, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's a terrible article, written in poor English, but an interesting subject. Worth improving I think.--Flange DuBois (talk) 07:28, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

instrumental use of WP protocols[edit]

Editor Omnipaedista continues to criticise me for writing guided by instrumental valuations--the very subject of this article. He reverted my first WP contribution Instrumentalism because he couldn't acknowledge my instrumental syntheses he claimed violated WP protocols--see that article's talk page. Now he faults me for making inductive observations about the conditions that give meaning to every scholar's use of instrumental or intrinsic criteria of judgment. These observations are not subjective opinions but verifiable determinants of how the concerned scholars reasoned. I will not remove his warning, in hopes that some readers will see this comment and recognise the fallacy of his criticism.TBR-qed (talk) 22:12, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
