The result of the debate was - no consensus
Appears to be original research, unencyclopedic. -- Babomb 16:36, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep Needs work but I can see an article there. The au. does quote a number of sources, so it's more than original research. --LeeHunter 18:10, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete, yes it quotes some other sources (the author should read Wikipedia:Citing Wikipedia by the way), but it's still original literature research. --fvw* 18:17, 2004 Dec 18 (UTC)
- Delete, original research, essay, codswallop. Wyss 23:30, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete, parody of a term paper, complete with ritual kowtowing to eminent obscurantists. -- Hoary 02:13, 2004 Dec 19 (UTC)

- Essay. I don't have time to evaluate it. I suggest we move it (without redirect) to something like Talk:postmodernism/donated essay, link from Talk:postmodernism, and see if anyone can usefully mine it. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:50, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)
- Do we have a place to transwiki this kind of stuff? - Andre Engels 22:10, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: essay. I doubt if other wikis would be happy for us to dump this on their doorsteps. Wile E. Heresiarch 05:49, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep Many of these are standard points that come up in postmodernism. Computers are often given as an example of postmodernism for the reasons presented in the article. If it's common knowledge among those who study postmodernism, it's not original research. (Could use clean up though, which IMO would fix that its suggestive of an essay)--Nectarflowed 06:05, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Keep Needs wikification. Masterhomer 17:45, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
