Mind shaping[edit]

This is an overly vague term used by two scholarly authors of no significant notability. Tacked onto that is an entirely separate, equally vague, and similarly non-notable use of the term in marketing. Daask (talk) 13:18, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Urgh. Delete with extreme prejudice. Very few hits in Google Scholar for this term (many of those caused by the coincidental concatenation of the words "mind" and "shaping" ignoring punctuation inbetween the two). Used exclusively in an academic context by a single author (Tadeusz Zawidzki). The definition of the term by Mameli is nonsensical, conflating learning, emotional response, and planning - subjects for which we have already many wonderful taxonomies. This term, and the article "explaining" it adds nothing - just noise. Delete the **** out of this. Famousdog (woof)(grrr) 11:14, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: does not meet notability guidelines and appears to be some sort of WP:ADVOCACY for this concept. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:24, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
