The article has numerous uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. There is also an overreliance on block quotes, negatively affecting the prose and preventing the article from being concise. Z1720 (talk) 23:07, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delist unless anyone offers to improve the article soon. Apart from the points in the nomination, there appear to be personal commentaries such as "It may not be inappropriate to speculate that some fair portion of the respect generally shown to Whitehead by his philosophical peers at the time arose from their sheer bafflement." and "Here it is worthwhile to quote Whitehead at length".

  • Delist in line with both recommendations above. The content is also not apparently well-balanced/DUE: for instance in "Political views" the first sentence appears to me to be original research (the anachronistic attribution of Libertarianism) and then the section makes no mention of Harvard's Pareto Circle, which has been the most-often-mentioned political activity in the secondary sources on Whitehead's politics that I'm familiar with.
