"The following people are not explicitly referenced as sentientists" edit
I removed this part, as the linked people are neither actually sentientists, nor have they any relevant connection to sentientism (even assuming they are sentientists). For easier access/longevity, here is the removed part:

- I agree, and I had warned the author about such synthesis. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 05:16, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- I agree this seems like synthesis and is too irrelevant to the subject of the article, but I think we could expand the current list to some other philosophers and writers who have argued for sentience as a moral criterion. Jmill1806 (talk) 19:33, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Charles Léopold Mayer might have been a predecessor to sentientism, he wrote a book "Sensation: The Origin of Life" but would be original research to add it. It would be interesting to expand the historical section. I will see if I can find any further references. Psychologist Guy (talk) 20:55, 30 August 2020 (UTC)\
Lingering tags edit
The page currently has this tag
 | A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (May 2020) |
What cleanup do you guys want to see? I will try to address the citation needed tag and clean up some unencyclopedic wording for now. Jmill1806 (talk) 18:36, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- I've tried to clean up the article from its current mediocre state. Please feel free to edit further, especially to add content. I cut some of the sentences but am sure there is more to say on the topic. However, we may just want to merge with sentiocentrism. Jmill1806 (talk) 19:34, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
Alternative(s) edit
What are the cognitive alternatives to this article's spin, bias, slant, approach to defining 'sentiocentrism' or 'sentientism' as "an ethical view which places sentient individuals (i.e., basically conscious beings) at the center of moral concern. Both humans and other sentient individuals have rights and/or interests that must be considered" in a way that seems to parallel it with (militant?) atheism? Neoplatonism? Personalistic theism or Personalism (as expressed at Boston University within the Methodist Personalist tradition as expressed by Edgar S. Brightman and Borden Parker Bowne and expressed in the mid- and late-20th century by Peter Bertocci, or the French philosopher Emmanuel Mounier (1905–1950) or Catholic Worker founder Dorothy Day, a distinctively Christian personalism developed in the 20th century, or Polish philosopher/theorist Karol Wojtyła (later Pope John Paul II), author ofLove and Responsibility, or German ethical personalist phenomenologist Max Scheler[1]? Surely 'institutional expressions' have been 'dismissed' as being 'merely politics'. MaynardClark (talk) 18:42, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
