For a not-as-well known Billy Joel album article, I don't think this article is too terrible.

History of animation – (page view stats • edit • talk • history)

This absolutely vital article is such a mess. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I know for a fact that there is no history section at all on the traditional animation page, so that plus this left a substantial gaping hole in the coverage i was expecting when visiting my favourite site for some required information on the subject.

National stereotypes – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 250 daily hits

Extremely important topic.--Coin945 (talk) 12:00, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, not only do I not see how it is an important topic, I cannot see a pathway to improve the article. Abductive (reasoning) 05:31, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Abductive, This is an incredibly important topic because naitonal stereptypes have greater led the course of human history, by creating "others", and allowing it to be fairly easy for a patriotic country to dehumanise another. We must, as a public service to the human population, make this article the best it can be in order to inform and englighten. The article itself has a myriad of sources already there, and no doubt you'd be able to locate more even after a shallow google search.--Coin945 (talk) 05:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It may when be as you say, but having many sources doesn't help clarify things sometimes. Give up on this one. Abductive (reasoning) 12:50, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was arguing more against the fact that you said it was nonnotable as a concept. And btw I have checked out those sources. The Guardian, NYT etc. Seems legit.--Coin945 (talk) 23:17, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
