Section about "The dark side of planning"

On Jan 3, 2012 the section "The dark side of planning" (see here) was added, while in July 2011 the article about this topic was deleted after this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dark side of planning.

Now it seems to me the argument given by User:DGG is still valid:

Little used academic coinage. The vey article itself admits as much in the 2nd paragraph. "The term "dark side of planning" was coined by Flyvbjerg...Yiftachel (1995) similarly talked about a 'dark side of modernism' " from which, by Original Research and Synthesis, the writer of the article concludes "Taken together, and independently of each other, these works introduced the "dark side" as a concept " -- not even "dark side of planning," just "dark side"! The article then goes on to talk how it "draws and expands upon" various famous concepts by other people. The references in the article indicate also there is no fixed terminology, just people talking about a very general way of looking at things, that could be called by a great variety of vague names, such as the coinage used here. In other words, I agree with Arthur Rubin. DGG ( talk ) 02:58, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

The section is OR. It should not have been merged here after the AfD debate, and should be deleted here. -- Mdd (talk) 15:49, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

This section duplicates a similar one in Urban planning. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 19:46, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
