Welcome to the Wikiproject on NLP (Neuro-linguistic programming) concepts and methods.
Wikipedia includes a variety of NLP-related articles generally classifiable as "concepts and methods". These are often not described in any standardized or accessible way, even though most are quite straightforward to describe, and any controversy that may exist tends to be easily characterized.
It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians on cleaning this subject up. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.
Titel
[edit]WikiProject on NLP concepts and methods
Project goals
[edit]The goals of this project are as follows:
- To create or improve articles on the significant individual sub-topics within NLP, such as core concepts, different working methods, major techniques, principles, methodologies, terminologies.
- To standardize the structure of these as far as possible, and give them a commonality in approach, to the reader, perhaps using a standard template to show where they fit into NLP, or similarly named section titles.
- To simplify and clarify the main NLP article greatly, leaving it as an umbrella article for the subject (much like "United States" is an umbrella covering economy, citizenship, climate etc.) by allowing many of the questions over NLP to be relegated to sub pages which are likely to be in and of themselves easier to draft neutrally.
- To maintain WP:NPOV in all articles in the subject, including fair balanced criticism.
- To reduce duplication of content between the various articles.
- To condense and combine weak articles
Scope
[edit]Initially, only articles relating to practical NLP techniques, terms, and underlying or associated principles integral to NLP are included. Thus:
- Concepts and methods within core NLP such as "Swish", "principles", "ecology", "six step reframe" or "double bind" are in
- Individuals, and specific or personal implementations of NLP such as "Richard Bandler", "Design Human Engineering" or "uses of NLP", are out, at least for now.
- Connected fields such as "epistemology" or "general semantics", are out.
- Some fields needing their own articles such as trance phenomenae, one might at times have to draw a line to avoid moving too far outside NLP.
- Proprietary styles and approaches, and other non-core developments to NLP, are probably not core to all NLP, and are thence less relevant, hence leave, at least for now.
- The definition of "non-core" is probably in simple terms, do most of the classic text books by Grinder, Bandler, Dilts, DeLozier, Andreas, Seymour, O'Connor, etc prior to around 1985-ish refer to it as a part of NLP? Do reputable non-hype trainers in general NLP refer to it as integral to NLP? We don't need to be creating articles on things that are not core, universal, concepts and methods integral to all or most NLP.
- Some background information articles, such as "History of NLP", "Sources of NLP methods and concepts", "Research on NLP", and overview articles such as "NLP map" and "List of NLP topics" may need to be discussed.
- The main NLP article itself, is out, other than if excess material on a concept or method is moved to a separate article, then appropriate editing trimming or linking etc. of the main article might be needed in the usual way. But the main NLP article is not covered by this project at this time.
