Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nostophobia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Nostalgia#Other aspects. As some interest has been expressed in a merge, history will be left intact if anyone would like to use it for that purpose. If a soft redirect to Wiktionary is preferable, that can be discussed separately as well. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 08:27, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Expand While seeming like a Wiktionary definition now, I think it could be expanded to be an actual in-depth article. Sorry if anybody disagrees with this. Have a good day. Tvshowoflife (talk) 18:57, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article is a stub but the topic is clearly notable after searching. small jars tc 20:26, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This is an interesting one. The concept seems quite niche, with minimal consistent adoption in academic spaces. The most well-cited is this.^[1] I could be convinced that it could be expanded into a proper article, but it seems plausible that a merge to Nostalgia or Oikophobia would be better.Suriname0 (talk) 02:43, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is a potentially useful flip side to nostalgia: an assessment of the past as essentially negative, and of the future as an opportunity to rectify its limitations. Thus, following earlier writers, we see the concept as 'useful in analysing the way organisational members reverse the positive/negative temporal division and see the past as an era to be escaped from, and the new, more positive one, actively embraced' (Strangleman, 1999, p. 727–728).

Comment If not kept a redirect to Wiktionary could be good.★Trekker (talk) 15:49, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I was under the impression that we can't do Wiktionary redirects anymore. Can someone else comment on that? Suriname0 (talk) 16:09, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wiktionary doesn't accept transwikis from Wikipedia, but I am not aware of any restriction of soft redirects. Stifle (talk) 13:17, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Nostalgia#Other aspects. If further content is developed there it can always be split out again. BD2412 T 04:12, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
