Talk:Gig economy

Dedicated article discussion
I'm unclear why this doesn't have a dedicated page and instead redirects to gig worker? Surely there has been a lot of activity around the term, it's history and various use, enough to justify a full page?

 * Doubtful there's enough to say about the term specifically, as opposed to the concept, which has too much WP:OVERLAP with the concept of gig workers to justify separation. — swpb T&#8201;•&#8201;go beyond&#8201;•&#8201;bad idea 15:01, 20 January 2022 (UTC)


 * , you all took an interest in expanding this article in the past. It has spent the last 5.5 years as a redirect. I am resurrecting it. Feel free to chip in. If it is going to be deleted, it should be given a full WP:AFD consideration to see if User:Swpb and User:DreamLinker are right.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:38, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The 2nd sentence of the article now says: "The gig economy is composed of corporate entities, workers and consumers." For the last four years the article has redirected to gig worker, which is only one of the three parts of the gig economy. That should clarify why this article should exist as a separate subject. The article is not high caliber right now, but I think it should survive a WP:AFD because of this clarification.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:32, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for tagging me, I'll review!
