Talk:Dérive

message: Drifter the person seems to have nothing in common with the subject matter of the article. Drifter(person) should have its own article discussing the drifter character in the movies, TV, pop culture, and in the American psyche.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bo Basil (talk • contribs) 16:51, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What the hell is this? I agree with Bo Basil, we need an article about the drifter who is almost a hobo, or have it redirected somewhere not here. There may be different varieties of such drifters, but this is not the right page to describe it. Belasted (talk) 04:19, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Wrong article

message: I completely wrote up a new article for this page that's cleaner, broader, more organized, and better cited than the previous ones, which should address most of the problems people had discussed earlier. This concept does deserve its own page for several reasons:
* This is a unique and significant philosophical concept referenced not only by the Letterist International and Situationist International, but also central to the theory of psychogeography which is recognized, analyzed and implemented by several modern groups and individuals involved with unitary urbanism and urban exploring.
* Almost all the aforementioned pages link to this page, and they have nothing to do with anything on the "drifter" page.
* If people search for the word "dérive" they are almost certainly not looking for the article for "drifter."
Again, hopefully the quality of this new edit will assuage anyone who had problems with the previous articles. BlindMic (talk) 21:33, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I was concerned about the redirect for the reasons give, but the old article was next to useless. Good to see it rewritten - dérive is a useful term when dealing with the writings of people like Iain Sinclair, and i think it probably justifies an article.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The technology section cites a few apps, but all of the references are self-published, and the importance of the apps in the grand scheme of the derive are questionable. There are a variety of examples with higher notability that could be included (Karen O'Rourke's book Walking and Mapping provides a number of examples. I would recommend adding information with higher quality sources to support this section, or deleting it. In its current state, it doesn't add much to the entry and doesn't reflect the most prominent engagements with derive/technology.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Genericxz (talk • contribs) 15:40, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
