Simulacra and Simulation

Table of Contents of a book. Delete. utcursch | talk 12:31, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

  • I think this article can be encyclopedic (it isn't now). I remember this book (or is it a paper, or story or something) being the basis for some movie. My thoughts were first thirteenth floor, but it might be the matrix. Does this ring a bell for anyone? Such notability (and a better article) could really find a place in wikipedia Keep McKay 18:39, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • The book appears in the Matrix; I wasn't aware it was real. Delete unless some content is provided. Meelar (talk) 20:11, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • If it is the basis for a movie (and not simply mentioned in The Matrix), then redirect to the movie. Otherwise delete. This is a borderline speedy. -R. fiend 20:15, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • There's no content here. Delete. -- Cyrius|✎ 00:36, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, could be speedied as a contextless, low content fragment, else article offers nothing encyclopedic about this topic. Wyss 00:55, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Hm. Jean Baudrillard is certainly highly notable, and Simulacra and Simulation is one of his best-known (and arguably most important) works. (Incidentally, Neo from The Matrix movies does happen to have a copy, and the Matrix movies draw on some of Baudrillard's ideas.) On the other hand, what's in the article right now is a table of contents that appears to be a cut and paste out of a library catalog or somesuch. Let's see if someone can put some real content there in the next five days, otherwise we're better off with a redlink: delete unless completely rewritten and expanded. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 04:27, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep but definitely definitely rewrite. Article as it stands is not encyclopaedic but I do see some merit on an article which discusses this book. Megan1967 06:41, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and Re-write as notable and verifiably real Baudrillard book. Lacrimosus 22:12, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Not an encyclopedia article. Delete unless rewritten. - Mike Rosoft 23:06, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
