Dear R Haworth,
You participated in a discussion (talk) to delete Antenarrative from Wikipedia. I can no longer find that entry on Wikipedia, so I am introducing you to the facts of how this cam about
You said, "• A story concept being promoted by its inventor, Dboje (talk • contribs).Unsurprisingly most of the incoming links were added by Dboje: storytelling, story arc and Fabula and syuzhet. And the addition to Barbara Czarniawska was added by a sock puppet (but I hasten to say that I saw no evidence that it was a sock puppet of Dboje). Has anything changed since the AfD five years ago? — RHaworth (talk • contribs) 23:38, 28 January 2011 (UTC)}}"
I have read through the rules for deletion of web pages on Wikipedia.
I believe that competing storytelling hosts of pages on Wikipedia have conspired to delete my page, and I hope you are an unwitting participant in this. I therefore introduce the following in evidence, and ask you reconsider
I also traced the history. The initial call for deletion was made by Dave Snowden:
"Note: This debate has been included in the list of Business-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 14:39, 29 January 2011 (UTC) • * Delete - Agree with Snowded. -- Joaquin008 (talk) 15:48, 29 January 2011 (UTC)"
A colleague did an IP search and 'Snowded' is in fact Dave Snowden.
I believe this deletion initiative to be an act of retaliation by a colleague who is attempting to exorcise competing conceptions of storytelling, of which 'antenarrative' is an established domain. It is retaliation for a review of Snowden's work that I published in a top-tier academic journal.
See -- Boje, D. M. 2006d. The Dark Side of Knowledge Reengineering Meets Narrative/Story. Organization: The Critical Journal of Organization, Theory and Society. Vol. 13, No. 5, 739-745 http://business.nmsu.edu/~dboje/690/papers/Knowledge_Reengineering_Review_Boje.pdf
Boje's Critique of Snowden's chapter in an academic journal publication Snowden's objection to the 'antenarrative page' is expressed as follows: "* Delete per nomination, without third party evidence of use/adoption and some balancing criticism this reads like a promotional piece; other related articles look to be extracts from Boje. Full disclosure, I know of Boje's work and am involved in the field of organisational narrative. --Snowded TALK 07:18, 29 January 2011 (UTC)"
The page was not backed up, but as I recall, it was indeed backed up by third party evidence, i.e. the published theory and empirical articles on the topic of antenarrative:
