Lacks references, and is basically a dictionary definition, while Wikipedia is not a dictionary. and is an almost unavoidably subjective one, as would be almost any additional content one would write for this generic term. The inclusion of particular items in the See Also list is likewise subjective. School leaving age involves a social evil? Gay rights: some people will call homosexuality a social evil, others will call homophobia one. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:09, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree, this is original research by synthesis and of very little use to anyone since, as the nominator points out, the perception of "evil" is subjective even if reliable sources are found; hence every "evil" and its polar opposite would be presented.

- Social evil is a proper term, not a subjective topic. I believe contributors can expand the article over time.
