An article which lacks independent reliable sources, the subject is a single document published by the Technocracy movement, not in itself a particularly significant movement. Guy (Help!) 12:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete. While I couldn't disagree with you any more strongly about the Technocracy movement being insignificant, this particular document doesn't seem notable. Zero hits on ProQuest, web hits are mostly archives, pdfs, and "what is Technocracy" pages. Celarnor Talk to me 13:06, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete, or possibly merge into another Technocracy article if some of the information is worthwhile. There doesn't seem to be much assertion of notability of this document. ~ mazca talk 13:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- delete - The information is available elsewhere. There is no such thing as a Technocracy movement. However Technocracy Incorporated is perhaps the most important social movement of the 20th. century... and was the fastest growing social movement of the early to mid 1930's. The Technocracy Incorporated article is probably the only wiki article from related articles that should be left from deletion.. and Technocracy Study Course can be talked about at that location on wikipedia. skip sievert (talk) 14:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
The Technocracy Study Course was not published by the Technocracy movement. That phrasing is a misnomer in context of this topic. That adds to the confusion here of what is what. Technocracy Incorporated put out the Technocracy Study Course. For decades (and presently also) it served as the primary explanation of the program developed by the Technical Alliance a group from Columbia University that is considered by some to be the first think tank in America. I would hope that these Technate articles are not being put up for deletion because they are thought to be unimportant. Only a person that is unfamiliar with a large aspect of American history would claim that. There were 17 Technocrats in F.D.R.'s administration.
This is suggested reading for any that would like a larger view of Technocracy Incorporated and its role then and now. http://www.technocracy.org/Archives/History%20&%20Purpose-r.htm

Really in my opinion the main articles that could be deleted related to this subject is Technocracy movement that article being mostly only a vehicle designed to direct web traffic to the Network of European Technocrats article which again in my opinion fabricated the concept of a Technocracy movement to justify the version of information they dispense. skip sievert (talk) 15:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
