  • Comment. In lieu of deletion, a redirect to Cultural universal would be appropriate, since that article reflects the topic that the book Human Universals is about and cites the book. I don't yet have an opinion about whether this article should be kept or not, but if the consensus is not to keep, a redirect would be preferable. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:51, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Human Universals already redirects to Cultural universal. DHHornfeldt (talk) 23:35, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
  • To be precise, Human universals with a lower case "universals" redirects to Cultural universal. Human Universals with a capitalized "Universals" is a separate article about a book by Donald Brown (anthropologist). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:54, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep. This book is written by a prominent scholar in the field of anthropology and this is his best-known book. Most importantly, it meets WP:BOOKCRIT Criteria #1 because it's been reviewed in several top-tier anthropology research journals: [https://www.jstor.org/stable/680618 American Anthropologist] and [https://www.jstor.org/stable/646869 American Ethnologist], both published by the American Anthropological Association; and [https://www.jstor.org/stable/2804372 Man], which is published by the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland. --Pinchme123 (talk) 00:01, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Keep. Meets WP:NBOOK by a wide margin: there's the reviews above, some more reviews [https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2006-06456-010][https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00988157.1995.9978108], plus in-depth discussion in other notable books (e.g. Pinker's The Blank Slate, Diamond's The Third Chimpanzee, Antweiler's Our Common Denominator) and [https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22human+universals%22+brown&btnG= dozens of other scholarly works]. – Joe (talk) 09:12, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
