Seems to be built entirely on WP:OR. If there's an article to be had here, WP:TNT could clear the way.

It starts off by referencing a notable writer's work. I wouldn't object to stubifying, but delete doesn't seem necessary.

The article I chose is triad. I will cover more of the basics of what a triad is and what it does in societies daily lives. I will add pictures and examples of various triads across the world and how they have either shaped or affected us. Also I will go more in depth of Georg Simmel and his view of triad in Sociology. Posing other questions as to where "triad" is derived from and how it is pronounced. Along with, stating how triad can alter the way we speak and communicate to others surrounding us. I also would like to contribute to not only how Georg Simmel views triads, but how he came to create the idea of a triad. Also further discuss the basis of a dyad and how that correlates to the topic.

Peer Review

Your progress in the article so far is great. You should add a source to where you got the information for the second sentence. Also, the sentence of your example is worded a little confusing and I recommend that you reword it. Also, in the sentence you mention George Simmel you do not complete your thought, I felt as if it was cut off too short. But, otherwise great job.Asanc382 (talk) 21:58, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback Asanc382 ! I will take your criticism in account and reword the sentences that were confusing. As well as, revising the other errors that were recognized. Mwydl001 (talk) 21:23, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

my general impressions

While not a bad article, there are some points I feel ought to at least be addressed.

The introductory paragraph is a bit of a "data dump" when it should be more of an abstract (summary). I considered leaving the first two sentences for that role and putting a heading on the remainder.

I've broken that paragraph up into sections to illustrate that it's somewhat redundant and circular. As well, there are claims made throughout that do not clearly depend from credible sources.

It was derived in the late 1800s to early 1900s and evolved throughout time to shape group interactions in the present. What was derived? How did it evolve? Who has made these claims? (See also the grammatically inept It goes into discussing how places have taken triads shape.)

Overall, it's almost entirely about George Simmel, and therefore possibly not enough a stand-alone topic to truly deserve article status. Are there plans to extend its reach and give it validity?

When W'pedia articles are undertaken as class projects, the result is generally similar to letting my kids have a puppy: after a few weeks, they cease doing any of the maintenance, and the dog is now solely my responsibility. Certainly, it's highly unusual for anyone school-involved (student or instructor) to return after semester end.

Though it's had 1,526 views in 30 days, there's only been two non-bot edits in two years. Most likely, almost all those readers are in Sociology 1-01 classes, and taking the article as if far more authoritative than reality would support.

Considering the widespread nature of the citogenesis problem, the on-going Wikipedia community has a responsibility to ensure these kids are plagiarizing hard fact rather than cribbing each other's empty conjecture. It would be best to roll the entire thing into the Georg Simmel article (a mere 14K in length), after first removing 3K-4K of chaff.
