work to create a useful entry (of any length). If it is not notable, then it shouldn't be included at all (at least not on a list of major areas). The argument that the section is not very long, doesn't speak at all to whether or not the subfield is notable. And since this is a collaborative encyclopedia, section length will always be in flux. My opinion has nothing to do with the merits of critical psychology - it has to do with the fact that is is not a major research area or degree specialization. To include it in the same list as social, cognitive, and developmental psychology (which gives it the appearance of equal weight) just seems absurd. Because of its breadth, psychology is already a difficult topic for people to understand. We're not doing anyone any favors by clouding the picture and highlighting niche disciplines. This list is entirely too long (there isn't a psychology department in the world that has 23 separate areas); eliminating critical psychology, global psychology, and postmodern psychology seemed like a conservative approach to focusing the scope of this list.

P.S. As far as due weight is concerned, the subsection (if re-added) would be one of twenty-three listed. And 1/23 (roughly 4.3%) is not very much at all. Too much "spice" can be overwhelming, but even just a little bit can help to keep the intellectual taste buds awake.
153: 420:: True, critical psychology is rather esoteric. But a passage on critical psychology "spices things up" a bit; it adds some pertinent--if surprising--variety.
