This article does not seem to meet the standards of notability/OR. The fact that it is entirely devoted to a series of distinct, unsustained definitions suggests to me that while the term 'sense of wonder' is used in discourse about science fiction, there is no strong or compelling evidence that it is a notably coherent concept (Notability), or at least it has not received sustained treatment in a reliable source as such (OR). That is, either the term is not notable because the people who are cited as using it only mention it in passing (unlike, for example, the concept of 'the sublime'), or the article is original research because it is what asserts the coherent importance of the term. I am tagging for notability, and would appreciate any thoughts on this and on possible proposal for deletion. -- Quadalpha ( talk) 04:28, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
I've changed the lead paragraph so that it does not explicitly tie the concept to sci-fi, created a definitions section to house the explicit definitions and put the rest of the old definitions and origins section into a less encyclopediac connections to sci-fi section. To continue the task of making the article more encyclopediac, we need to keep reworking that section. -- 95.91.247.189 ( talk) 10:00, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
The sense of wonder has been historically (and currently) more important to philosophy and science than to science fiction. While this article is less notable, it could be merged with Wonder (emotion). Dpleibovitz ( talk) 21:14, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
This article is about an aspect of science fiction. If we merge it there more people will see it and it will add needed content there. A sense of wonder, or the emotion of wonder, can be generated by science itself, by nature, by human achievements (the Egyptian pyramids for instance), by religion and myth, by other fiction, as well as by science fiction. Wonder (emotion) should deal with the general concept. PopSci ( talk) 04:32, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
This entire section was just a WP:QUOTEFARM, moving here. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:50, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
