Delete Reads more like an opinionated essay with no notable sources. Conceptually an "Academic history" may exist but is it even notable? Tooncool64 (talk) 07:08, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unsourced since 2007. As "academic" and "history" and even the combination "academic history" are very common terms, I don't even see how one could search for sources. And as the nom says, this reads like "an opinionated essay". Unless some history specialist knows of some sources that show the notability of this concept, we should get rid of this. --Randykitty (talk) 10:11, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unsourced and appears to just have flown under the radar. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 10:21, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing GNG for lack of RS and V. Tagging for 16 years has not led to additional sourcing and OR remains after 14 years of tagging, so Draftify and other AtDs do not appear to be viable options. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 15:00, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This demonstrates more the uselessness of such tags than the non-notability or -verifiability of the article. Srnec (talk) 18:15, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's an unsourced essay, not an article. Banks Irk (talk) 17:23, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The topic of academic history—i.e., history as taught and practised in academia—is a notable topic. This article is such a poor start, however, that WP:TNT applies. Delete. Srnec (talk) 18:15, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: In agreement with Tooncool64, Randykitty, and Banks Irk, it is currently an unsourced essay, doubtfully one that can be fixed. XxTechnicianxX (talk) 20:00, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- I agree with views expressed above. There is a variety of history (or perhaps historiography) that is more about discussing and reviewing the ideas of historians than about recounting what happened. However that is not he subject of this article. Possibly redirect to historiography. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:32, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
