Reception theory

Page is currently blank; I cannot really find enough about this theory to make it seem noteworthy outside of the bio page about the man himself. Master Thief Garrett 02:13, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There are whole books about reception theory of various kinds. Go back to the version with Stuart Hall, clean up. Charles Matthews 07:55, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete as written -- it's content-free. Keep the re-write. --Carnildo 21:27, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Reception Theory deserves its own article - it is a well known school of thought in academic literary criticism. I just wrote a very short stub to replace the blank page. Someone who knows more should extend it. Sheldrake 00:15, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. The stub is fine and encyclopedic. It'll do for now. I'm getting a bit pissed at reading VfDs of articles that should obviously have just been cleaned up. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:02, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- The article as originally written consisted of the fragment "for more on the ideas in Stuart Hall's essay encoding/decoding, see reception theory". I would have tagged it for speedy deletion, rather than VfD. --Carnildo 21:50, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - Not very constructive. Wikipedia's article on Stuart Hall, the famous media theorist, will tell you quite a lot about Reception theory--certainly enough to make a good stub. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:35, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Fine stub. Shanes 22:09, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Weak Keep, as revised. I don't really know enough about the subject matter myself, but I assume the others know what they're talking about! Master Thief Garrett 22:32, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)Keep, it's fine now! Master Thief Garrett 23:44, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as revised. Adequate stub. Vast improvement over initial page. --Dcfleck 20:54, 2005 May 1 (UTC)

Note on "Hall's Theory"

Hello. I have elsewhere[1] contended that this is not a term in cultural theory and shouldn't be used with capital letters or treated as an autonomous concept. Please see the Stuart Hall discussion page to follow that thread. I make the point that it breaks up information on Hall's view of that subject; and while the page of the subject is not overly long, it can all go there. That's my view. --TheSoundAndTheFury (talk) 02:21, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
