Welcome!

Proposed deletion of Social Causation VS Downward Drift

The article Social Causation VS Downward Drift has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Essay, personal analysis, violates WP:SYNTH, not a reference article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

May 2018

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Social Causation VS Downward Drift. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. I'm on the edge of submitting the article for a deletion discussion, though I'll review it again carefully before I do. The fact that the premises on which an essay is based doesn't alter the fact that it's an essay rather than a reference article. A Wikipedia article doesn't aggregate arguments and then draw conclusions, argue or call for further study, etc. Largoplazo (talk) 15:08, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Social Causation VS Downward Drift, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. These aren't deletion tags, so please stop referring to them as such. I tagged a number of statements in the article that appear to be commentary and reasoning laid on top of the material from the sources. Largoplazo (talk) 16:36, 10 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
