This page appears to be nonsense. What is the topic? Where are the resources? Any independent coverage? Sadly I don't find any clear-cut CSD reasons; G11 was the best hope but I don't see it. — Timneu22 · talk 16:59, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Base and superstructure is the foundational theoretical framework of Marxist theory (cultural and economic), but this article appears to be a summary of a non-notable discussion of the concept. It is actually something we should have an article on, if there isn't one, but this article isn't it and can't be made into it. 72.19.82.141 (talk) 17:06, 30 November 2010 (UTC) — Oi.

Comment. I agree with everything that Kate said, except how it applies to this case. If there should be an article, but not this one, we blank the page and leave a one-sentence stub. I'm just not sure that this needs its own article, seeing as we don't have a general Base and superstructure in Marxism article from which this would be a spin-off. This subject might be better dealt with in Marxist philosophy or Marxist literary criticism, but if it does warrant its own article deletion is not an appropriate course of action, no matter how badly this one smacks of something written for a college essay.

- Comment. General treatment in Marxist philosophy would be entirely appropriate (and likely is already there). It's a foundational concept, it's not distinctly different between cultural theory and economics treatments. Kate (talk) 13:37, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Given the above. RJC ^Talk_Contribs 14:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
