This article talks almost entirely about elite theorists, and very little about elite theory itself, which is probably something that should be remedied. 129.133.127.184 (talk) 01:07, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

that certainly the discussion section of this article will be extremely short, mainly because no-one ever reads this type of stuff. 173.183.69.134 (talk) 21:34, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The third paragraph of this article, added by User:BlanchePoubelle on 5 October 2015, is an unreadable mess that becomes word salad after the second sentence. Any objections before I delete it? --Coolcaesar (talk) 05:36, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No objections for almost two months, I'm taking it out. --Coolcaesar (talk) 12:19, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The template message states "the article has no coherent discussion of the subject, just a bunch of expert utterances in separate microsections." It looks like this has been a topic of discussion since 2008. I agree that the approach is too focused on individual theorists, but I don't think it's incoherent. There just need to be more connections and contrasts drawn between different theories. Anybody have any ideas on how to start?

What actual contributions has this person made to elite theory? This part of the article reads as an advertisement for a youtube channel. If reliable sources don't consider him notable or a contributor he should not be in the article any more than any other youtube channel or twitter account that holds this position should. Publishing a book is not a justification either- there are textbook overviews of many strains of thought that dont contribute to the position. 84.203.122.165 (talk) 23:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
