This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Skipsievert (talk | contribs) at 02:35, 22 March 2009 (→Notable: comment). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

I have recreated this page because there are multiple articles that refer to the book... and also this presentation is sourced with neutral outside information from a couple of key sources ... this one http://www.eoearth.org/article/Biophysical_economics and this one http://ecen.com/eee9/ecoterme.htm and also this http://telstar.ote.cmu.edu/environ/m3/s3/05account.shtml which was not in the information previously. The first two links specifically mention the notability of the ideas contained in the T.S.C. and give some historical information regarding the notable people involved.

Note: I previously voted to delete this page in an A.f.d. - I now think that the article is important because of the impact the book has made, and think it qualifies as notable very easily http://archive1.macs.ualberta.ca/FindingAids/Technocracy/Technocracy3.html .. here is another very nice link for information presentation here also that is now in the article http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2003AM/finalprogram/abstract_61689.htm

Also before, the article was not sourced as to the actual book... and that link to the book is now available as a download from the official group which is still around and is included in this version. skip sievert (talk) 17:52, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable

Self-published study course with anonymous authorship which has been deleted once already, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Technocracy Study Course. Couldn't find any published reviews, see [1]. Non-notable as it doesn't meet WP: Notability (books). Article is more about the Technical Alliance than anything else, and we already have an article on that.

Notable

Reliable, secondary sources,? Yes. As said I voted for the deletion the first time around though I knew it was notable. This time it is sourced extremely well. You did not read the links. Mostly authored by M. King Hubbert the book's author is so historically significant that any of his written works may be considered notable, that is pointed out here and in the article . Its in the library of Congress.

I drew up a kind of a small study course of the basics of what we were talking about, for use in these small groups that were assembling around. That was published in a small booklet without authorship. It was called "Technocracy Study Course." end quote. M. King Hubbert http://www.oilcrisis.com/hubbert/aip/aip_iv.htm As an editor User:Johnfos who I have reported here Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts that formerly has negatively followed my edits as to tagging, and other things, I request you stop doing that. I have asked previously that you not drive by tag things edited by myself. The organization is notable. The actual articles related all relate back to the information in this book... so it makes sense to document the book. Do a search on Wikipedia for associated articles http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2003AM/finalprogram/abstract_61689.htm... do a google search on the book itself. skip sievert (talk) 01:19, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
