This term is quite idiosyncratic. The website [https://cratology.org/ Cratology – the art and science of social power] seems to be the only place it is used, and this seems to be written by [https://cratology.org/jeffrey-pfeffer/ Jeffrey Pfeffer]. The term may have had some use in Russian, but this isn't made clear. The cited article by Merquior - [https://monoskop.org/images/1/17/Merquior_JG_Foucault.pdf Foucault's 'cratology': his theory of power] doesn't really explore the term. I think it's a bit like ergatocracy, a term that Cedar and Eden Paul attempted to introduce in the 1920's and that it doesn't warrant a page. Perhaps they both deserve a section in a more general page. Leutha (talk) 08:35, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Comment This discussion page was created without the {{tl|afd2}} template and never transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now--I have no opinion of my own on the nomination itself at this time. --Finngall ^talk 15:44, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Delete stub for a neologism that shows no significant improvement since 2004. Only one source that does nto actually discuss or even define the term. The study of social power is not a new academic field, as the stub article claims; it is political science and sociology. No chance of passing GNG and no likelihood of WP:ATD being useful.

Delete per nom. Appears to be a WP:NEOLOGISM that did not attain widespread use, and thus does not have the sources sufficient to pass the WP:GNG. Rorshacma (talk) 16:45, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Delete as original research. We're not here to publicize a "new science". Bearian (talk) 17:19, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
