Subject (discourse)

This seems to me to be an essay/dicdef, rather than something expandable into a full article. Author was apparently "Hjørland, B" (User:BirgerH), who authored 4 out of 6 articles in the Literature section.

- Neutral per expansion. Still not sure enough to swing to keep.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:44, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Correct article is Subject (philosophy) and it already exists. Phil Sandifer (talk) 16:07, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(reply from author) I have enlarged the entry, added many more references and views and made a clear distinction between subject understand in this article and subject understood in Subject (philosophy).

I do hope this entry is not deleted.--BirgerH (talk) 10:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy for improvement and potential reintroduction (under this title or perhaps a broader one). Has potential, but the style currently used is too conversational and unfocused. No slight intended to the article creator. Townlake (talk) 18:24, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(SECOND reply from auther))

I have now added a section about S.R. Ranganathans definitio9n of the term subject as well as a quote by the linguist Hutchins, why he found this term problematic. Birger Hjørland --BirgerH (talk) 09:00, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy and consider merging new content into Subject (philosophy), possibly under a new section of that article. Otherwise this distinction is too minor for an encyclopedia. Perhaps better suited for Wiktionary. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 23:39, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
