Delete 18 year old American philosopher (has an s in his name) who apparently has re-established the Platonic school. Vanity. Bollocks. Prod removed without reason--Porturology 03:14, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Firstly - I am not Krause - so this can't be considered vanity, perhaps blind admiration at best. Secondly you're all being very condescending and elitist. At no point does the article claim Mr. Krause has "re-established the Platonic school" or any other claims - if you actually read his work all he does is humble himself and does not even refer to himself as a philosopher but rather someone who is just repeating ancient wisdom. Mr. Krause makes no claims of accomplishing anything and all his works are dedicated to his teachers rather than himself, explaining to the reader that any thoughts must be attributed to them and them alone. Anyway, I wouldn't want this stub, which I was going to expand to include commentary on all his key points being in such a elitist environment so delete. Baalhammon 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• After reading the above, I'll rephrase my vote: Delete Non-notable philospher. Having a blog does not make you notable. Fan1967 04:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
• Although Mr. Krause is not published yet does not make his thoughts any less legitimate, nor does his age. Young people have accomplished great things in the past (See: Alexander the Great). Attack the ideas, not the character. I'd like to again stress that I have no personal affiliation to Mr. Krause. What makes a philosopher notable anyway? The common man wouldn't know the name Nietzsche and of course wouldn't know the name Wittgenstein - but these are giants of philosophy. By another logic, Socrates, Epictetus and other Greeks didn't write down or publish their philosophy, and we consider them classical, if not crucial. Although there is a link to a personal blog on Krause's site, there is also academic essays and a philosophical treatise on ethics. Baalhammon 04:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll respond to only one of your questions, as it's the only one that matters here: What makes a philosopher notable anyway? To put it simply, a notable person is one that many people have heard of. It is not Misplaced Pages's task to publicize unknown people, but rather document notable people. Krause is not prominent, he is not well-known. The specific guidelines that Misplaced Pages recommends are at Misplaced Pages:Notability (people). Fan1967 05:09, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as embarassing vanity. In any case, "Blind admiration" is as bad a reason to write articles as vanity. Nowhere near as BJAODN worthy as the Bassil Mikdadi vanity/hoax. Deizio 12:23, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
