Cleanup[edit]

Original article was a copyvio (see history) - but it looks like it was rewritten. However it still looks like original thought - see WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_publisher_of_original_thought. Megapixie 04:16, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is true for many countries, not only in France, and the descriptions are generic, so what's the point of making this article? We might as well make "Social class in [country]" articles and copy-paste this. (Of course, India's caste system is a big exception to this.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.127.111.234 (talk) 00:37, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of citations, all original research[edit]

This article has only ever once had a citation. (I checked every single version since page creation.) The page was originally created with a copyright violation [1] from the old Encarta encyclopedia [2], with a link to Encarta's 'France' article at the bottom. Within 15 minutes, the creator of this page edited out the copy vio and replaced it with something else completely [3], sans citation. Over the years there have been the occasional additions to the page; none have used citations. One could safely say that this entire article is — and has been —original research.

It looks like this article is wikilinked directly from just a few places:

I might suggest this article be draftified, and removed from the templates and articles that link to it. However, without someone actively working on this article, it might just expire in draft mode and get deleted altogether. Or someone quick find some citations and possibly re-write some of the article. Platonk (talk) 21:40, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is certainly uncited, but all of it could be. Rather than actual "original research", it consists entirely of a brief summary of the conventional, indeed rather sterotypical, Anglosphere thinking about the subject, with omissions - where is Poujadism for example?

No idea, but at this point honestly I think it could use some TNT. -- asilvering (talk) 03:54, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
