<p>(This more or less a question for the StackExchange team.)</p>

<p>I can imagine a few of the reasons why StackExchange would <em>not</em> open a subcomponent for questions on sociology, political science, history and so on. But I wonder: has that possibility ever been submitted, and if so, what reasons led to dismissing it?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance from a political scientist in training.</p>
