trivialism Sense 2

Sense 2 of trivialism: 'The theory that every proposition and its negation is true.' I don't think this sense of the word is ever used except by a few crackpot ivory tower philosophers. Since there are no trivialists, I don't think it is a topic discussed often, its not even refuted often because nobody believes in the idea anyway. I believe this is a very rare use of the word.

This should be an WT:RFV, not an RFD; but I've just added three citations to ensure it would pass. Equinox 15:50, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. There are no unicorns either, but that isn't an argument against having the entry! Equinox 15:56, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per nomination and Equinox. Rareness isn't a reason to exclude something unless it's so rare it can't be shown to exist. And this can. Renard Migrant (talk) 16:38, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: Only nominator thinks RfD is appropriate; all other votes are "keep" or "move to RfV" Purplebackpack89 15:07, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
