One sentence substub about a non-notable concept. BEFORE failed to find anything substantial. Not eligible for a PROD, due to the prod (from 10 years ago) being about lack of sources, and it being declined due to the existence of not inline source. That source - the best source - is a one-sentence from an old encyclopedia. I usually think that as a rule of thumb, something discussed in an encyclopedia is good for Wikipedia, but not when the entire discussion is a single sentence. At best, I think this could be redirected to whatever work of Thomas Carlyle's this concept originated, if this can be sourced there (I don't think any article links here outside the transclusions from {{ Thomas Carlyle}}). Right now his biography doesn't even mention this, and as I noted above, it does not appear this term has caught on in academic or literary discourse.

- Merge & redirect to Thomas Carlyle? I found the concept insightful (excuse poor pun, and on a purely personal note FWIW), and would like to keep this safe somewhere, because despite its brevity I reckon this stub actually contains more encyclopaedic value than some much longer articles I've seen... -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 08:24, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
