IP user,there is a reason the page is protected UnsungHistory (Questions or Concerns?) (See how I messed up) 20:23, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

The reason is,it gets blanked a whole lot UnsungHistory (Questions?) (Did I mess up?) 02:02, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

Stop blanking the page!

Just don't, it achieves nothing and annoys a lot of people Speakerset (talk) 13:55, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, there is a reason why this page is indefinitely extended-protected, as users including those who are autoconfirmed have been blanking this page for so many years. Sometimes extended-confirmed users do that as well for the laughs. If you need to edit this page, feel free to submit an edit request and someone will be here to respond shortly.

I also agree, I do not understand what they accomplish when they blank it, it is not even funny. A slice of 8.5397342 (talk) 00:14, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

I kind of want to just edit the page and put and the beginning of it 'Do not delete the contents of this page, it is not funny and it is uncalled for.' I wish that this would be obvious but clearly it is not. A slice of 8.5397342 (talk) 00:19, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

@A slice of 8.5397342 People don't usually do such notices. Because even mentioning this type of vandalism can encourage users to try it out for themselves. See this page here: Wikipedia:Don't stuff beans up your nose. I know it's a silly essay, of course, but it covers this whole topic, and it's quite an interesting read to say the least.

Get an account. Then you edit 500 times and wait 30 days after you gain your account. You will gain extended confirmed which will allow you to edit this page Heyitsmekalhan (talk) 21:06, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

The point of a request in the talk page is to suggest a change in the article, when you do not have the permission to edit it. Please be more clear with your edit request, as it is not for requesting for special permission to be able to edit the article.

Hinduism In hinduism “nothing” is discussed in great detail. It can be found in “Upanishad”. Nothing is a state in which everything exists. It doesn’t need to be born and it never dies because it doesn’t exist yet it exists. “Upanishad” describes the absolute truth of our existence and this absolute truth is “nothing”. It is also described in some other religions too.

Nothing

Add a section about the history of blanking the page. It's Wikipedia's own legacy. Adiiitya (talk) 18:45, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

I think it is unnecessary as you could see it here UnsungHistory (Questions?) (Did I mess up?) 21:58, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

I feel that's unnecessary. The history of this article's vandalism isn't related enough to nothing for it to be worth mentioning. UnsungHistory also makes a good point. It's already mentioned elsewhere, so why would we need to put it here? - DoofusMcGoofus (talk) 13:44, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Request to change name of article to concept of nothing

I am requesting a name change for the article to go from from Nothing to concept of nothing. Changing the name would greatly lower the amount of vandalism and better reflect the articles content. Nootiemcnooterson (talk) 05:03, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

wouldn't "nothing (concept) fit better with the style of wikipeadia? Skeletons are the axiom (talk) 20:03, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

Yes however that could cause confusion amongst the general public. Nootiemcnooterson (talk) 23:33, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

how? Skeletons are the axiom (talk) 13:37, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Never mind your right i just thought it could take away from the articles and direct people away from the article but i think your idea is more logical. Nootiemcnooterson (talk) 23:30, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Would "nothingness" work as a title? Runtape (talk) 02:06, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

If a move is being proposed, this should be done through Wikipedia:Requested moves. Is the intent of this proposal to move Nothing (disambiguation) to the current title? BD2412 T 03:12, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

A small edit

In the section "Science" there is a preposition "on" that should be changed to "in". This is the sentence:

"...1803 interference experiment, seemingly confirming the need for an aether. The most well known attempt to detect the existence of the aether was the Michelson–Morley experiment conducted by Albert A. Michelson on 1881, later repeated with Edward W. Morley in 1887 with more precision. This failed to show the desired..."

This should read "...experiment conducted by Albert A. Michaelson in 1881..."

That's "in" instead of "on". Runtape (talk) 20:50, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

"Nirvana" and Heidegger

"Some writers have made connections between Heidegger's concept of nothing and the nirvana of Eastern religions."

This strikes me as a bit off - Nirvana is the cessation of the cycle of Samsara. The more appropriate concept would be Śūnyatā. The concepts in many Eastern Philosophies are cyclic, so the confusion is understandable. Just pointing this out to help. As a Buddhist this section in general struck me as a little Western-centric Utetwo22 (talk) 08:00, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

Nothing → Nothing (concept)Nothing (concept) – The article covers the abstract concept, not other uses: "Nothing (concept)" improves precision and disambiguation. 2A04:CEC0:F04B:6A1:71EA:A9C4:DD08:AE67 (talk) 15:12, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose. Unnecessary disambiguation, and this is the clear primary topic for the word nothing. Thanks, 1isall (he/him) (talk | contribs) 16:07, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose per 1isall. There is nothing in the encyclopedia that takes primacy over this meaning of the term, so there is nothing that needs to be changed here. BD2412 T 17:31, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

  Should the proposed title be redirected to the current one, though? Thanks, 1isall (he/him) (talk | contribs) 17:39, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

  Probably, but that can wait until this discussion is concluded. BD2412 T 18:25, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

  Okay. I'll make sure to hold off on redirecting the title until this discussion is closed. Thanks, 1isall (he/him) (talk | contribs) 18:27, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose. It is the primary encyclopedic topic. Srnec (talk) 20:54, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
• Oppose per above. This is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. GothicGolem29 (talk) 00:17, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

There is a lack of quotation marks in the "Philosophy" section, where it says "As everything, for him, was an article of faith, nothing, to his mind, was difficult to understand: the Great Flood had covered the entire world; before, men had the misfortune of living a thousand years; God conversed with them; Noah had taken one hundred years to build the ark; while the earth, suspended in air, stood firmly at the center of the universe that God had created out of nothingness. When I said to him, and proved to him, that the existence of nothingness was absurd, he cut me short, calling me silly." Please add quotation marks to Glasacomo Casanova's quote.

If possible add to the section on Eastern after the sentence on Eastern philosophies. This is what to add: Drawing on the philosophy of Kitarō Nishida, some contemporary scholars describe nothingness not as the absence of being but as a selfless mode of awareness that transcends the subject–object distinction, enabling a relational understanding of self, others, and the world.
