I wrote this entry. It is a synthesis of information found in the listed references. It is not filled with my opinions. It is not copied and pasted from a thesis. It is created entirely for the purpose of introducing the term to the wikisphere, and distinguishing the term from others which are often conflated with decoloniality.

I did not make up the term. "Decoloniality" and decolonial studies are widely recognized in ethnic studies discourse. A simple search of Decoloniality on Google verifies it isn't made up.

Decolonial is no more "tendentious" or impartial than the terms Eurocentrism, racism, or post-colonialism. To argue that it "runs entirely afoul" of wikipedia's impartiality standard is to argue that any entry based on critical theory should not be so critical.
