Talk:Ma (negative space)

This article was nominated for deletion on 2008-01-24. The result of the discussion was no consensus. |
User 0bvious: I contest the speedy deletion of this page. I believe the concept of 'Ma' is worthy of its own page. Its use in art is widely recognised. The term is one for which there is no English equivalent, true, but neither is there an equivalent for the Japanese word 'Mu', which similarly can be found in various uses. Mu in fact has a very detailed English language Wikipedia page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_%28negative%29 ). It was for this reason that I decided to start the Ma page. I intend to research and add to the page. I have started a conversation elsewhere ( http://ask.metafilter.com/79537/Defining-the-Japanese-Concept-of-Ma ) and will continue reading up on Ma until I feel I can create a more detailed article.
Thanks

- If you are right, you will be able to find some good citations for its use in English (I hope you do) but as it currently reads it is just a japanese word and we can hardly have articles on all words in all languages ... good luck in your search; I will have a look too. It might be a good idea to get a name and sign your comments with 4 tildes Abtract (talk) 19:07, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
- According to WP:PROD, the prod tag is used for uncontested deletions only. You can contest the deletion by removing the tag. While an explanation should be given, it doesn't have to be. The tag was removed, Someone else above also clearly opposes it, and I also think that this should at least receive an AFD. I'm not sure I would call it a keep, but I also would call it controversial enough to discuss it. If you want to AFD it and aren't sure how, I'll be glad to do it for you.--UsaSatsui (talk) 03:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

- Also please see article negative space for why this article is now redundant. Abtract (talk) 16:12, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
