What do you expect to get from Advocacy?

• Answer: Advice about how to procede

Summary:

The NKT article seems to me to give undue weight to the views of one author, David Kay, who is cited to such an extent that the article could perhaps be more properley described as 'what David Kay thinks about the NKT'. There are two sections which have been nominated for merging with other articles (but no discussion of this on the talk page), and the piece as a whole seems utterly lacking in coherence and full of missing citations and opinion presented as fact. The article has been heavily edited by kt66 who appears to have an agenda that runs contrary to the aims of WP. The discussion of this article is interminable...would it be better to delete it altogether?
