Wikipedia:WikiProject NLP concepts and methods
NLP or Neuro-linguistic programming is a controversial topic.
That said, what is not in doubt is that it includes a very wide range of sub-topics generally classifiable as "methods" (eg, hypothesised models, working techniques, and approaches), some of which have been individually documented under their own articles (See: List of NLP topics) and many of which have not. Those that have, are often not described in any way that standardizes or makes them more accessible to people reading a wide range of NLP techniques and principles.
The main NLP article has grown very long, mostly because it includes a variety of subtopics in detail, each of which competes for fair discussion, and many of which are in ways, disputed or in need of their own citations and discussion.
It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians on cleaning this subject up. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.
Title
WikiProject on NLP methods clean-up
Project goals
The goals of this project are as follows:
- To separately create or improve articles on the significant individual sub-topics within NLP, such as different working methods, major techniques, principles, methodologies, terminologies, to their own sub-topic articles.
- To standardize the structure of these and give them a commonality in approach, to the reader. perhaps using standard templates to show where they fit into NLP, or similar section titles.
- To thus simplify the main article greatly, as simply an umbrella article for the subject much like "United States" is an umbrella covering economy, citizenship, climate etc.
- And hopefully as a final byproduct, allow it to be returned to non-editorial war, by allowing many of the questions over NLP to be relegated to sub pages which are less likely to be in and of themselves very controversial to draft.
Examples of pages which document an NLP method or term are:
But even so, these are individual in style rather than linked in some kind of structure or template to show where they fit into NLP, nor are they standardized in any way to make researching NLP methods easier for supporters, critics and others.
Scope
Initially, only articles relating to practical NLP techniques, terms, and underlying or associated principles integral to NLP are included. Thus:
- "Swish" or "principles of NLP" or "ecology" or "double bind" are in
- "Richard Bandler" or "how NLP is marketed in the real world" or "Epistemology", are
out.
- Proprietary styles and approaches to NLP, such as "Design Human Engineering", are probably not core to all NLP, and are thence less relevant, hence leave, at least for now
