Talk:The Iron Law of Wages

How do you nominate an article for deletion? This article, besides being full of falsehoods, is redundant. See Iron law of wages, which redirects to Subsistence theory of wages. -- RLV 209.217.195.116 (talk) 21:39, 22 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I think, since currently a search on "The Iron Law of Wages" yields no results, it would be better to change this to a redirect than to delete it entirely.


 * As for the assertion that it is "full of flasehoods", errors in an article should be pointed out in particular rather than in general. Rick Norwood (talk) 13:23, 23 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I think Wikipedia has guidelines or policies on articles names, although I don't understand them. Maybe there's one about starting articles with "The". In my opinion, every sentence in the article as it stands is wrong. Sraffa's Ricardo contains 11 volumes, so the quotation from Ricardo isn't even attributed properly. It's not from p. 94 in volume 1, although that page does talk about wages. -- RLV 209.217.195.151 (talk) 10:27, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

I agree that this article should become just a redirect to an article titled either Iron Law of Wages, Iron law of wages or Subsistence theory of wages. It will take a few days to transfer information.

If every sentence is wrong, we will have to take them one sentence at a time. Beginning with the first sentence, "The Iron Law of Wages, also known as the Subsistence theory of wages, is an economic law proposed by David Ricardo (1772 -- 1823)." please point out the error so I can correct it.
