Talk:Vulnerability index/archive

I am going to go ahead and pass this link on to some folks that I have been working with and ask them to advise me if it is in proper order for a new stub redirect,Brothercanyouspareadime (talk) 19:32, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Re Proposed Deletion
Um...there is an under construction plate already there. If you think there is OR in there please explain it. Just plating it tells us nothing because all of that stuff is from published sources. As I think I already noted,and in fact invited there will probably be separate pages for these and this will become a disambiguation page. If you think that process should be expedited please let me know.

Each of those three items are bodies of published material. I did not make up or research them with a shred of originality. It is all what is going on in the field of disaster management and community resilience. It may LOOK like OR because it is still somewhat cutting edge. But this is what they talk about at the international level. Most people don't hear this nomenclature until years later when it trickles down to community and national level discussions...but then that is exactly why so much on Wikipedia lacks a global orientation and is too specific to USA-NZ-UK-Australia.

NOTICE OF COMPLIANCE: Throwing in the towel
Agreed, the original article listing different types of vulnerability indexes suggests a generalized category of vulnerability indexes which has not been advanced in any citable papers.

I tried to fix that by asserting that a thesis that there is not one. However, that too is a speculative counter-thesis. Unless there are three papers out there, it is Original Research to be done in the future.  Therefore I am complying and have deleted the original article virtually all or all of which was written by myself. I am replacing the article in its entirety with encyclopedic material verified by citations. Note that googling in English the top entries are all for the VI as developed by Dr. James Conner. I will add a disambiguation link at the top.

Please bear in mind that originally I intended a soft redirect but was admonished that the level of detail I provided to the proposed redirects was viewed as OR. Brothercanyouspareadime (talk) 23:30, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
