The article was badly mangled on 9 February 2012,18:12 with unsound arguments adduced; looks like the police is still after HW; the damage should be undone. 91.92.179.172 ( talk) 21:30, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
The article was completely replaced with a paragraph about a 17-year-old football player, 19:21, 8 April 2013 . I reverted the article to what it was prior to this vandalism. XanthamNide ( talk) 21:00, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
COMMENT: This whole entry is a disgrace. All that bullshit about who owns "metahistory" and what happened in Los Angeles is an insult to an important and influential scholar. I am not a specialist on this subject, but surely there is someone competent to report on White's contributions. COME ON!!! — Preceding

I disagree with the proposed merger of "Metahistory" into the Hayden White article. Metahistory is both a name of a book by white and a term people have gone on to use in a larger sense (derived from White). In addition key books and texts often have their own articles because it's easier to list references and bibliographies and other information (which, BTW, got deleted in the attempt to merge). -- Stbalbach 20:55, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Metahistory by Hayden White is an excellent book about historiography in the 19th century that is probably worth a small separate article because it introduces a unique idea in what used to be called the philosophy of history: that all historical narratives are "emplotted" using dramatic tropes. Gavriel Pesach 13:12 3 March 2006
I have to say I would support the move. As things stand we are looking at what is essentially a neologism coined by one individual which has yet to be widely adopted. This is to no way disparage the validity of White's conclusions, however if wikipedia were to create a page for every term with the prefixes meta or post- coined by an academic I can't help but feel it would swiftly grind to a halt.

I dont know much about all of this but I know that Metahistory is a TOPIC of debate in my university class, and is not handled as the reflection of only one author himself. Its implications for postmodernism in history alone warrant the extra attention. I am opposed to the merger and wish there was more information avaible on Hayden White.(Andre - 26 March)
There is a reference to the term "Lockyer Manual" but a Google search about that term reveals nothing. It would be helpful if this term could be explained or linked to a new article, or footnoted, or something.
