Inquiring as to why is this article being tagged for deletion by Darkstar. Thanks Ransdy (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:14, 16 August 2010 (UTC).
 * Original research. I was unable to verify the majority of the text in the sources listed, or on the internet.  if you were the original author, if you could supply a few different references, i will delay the deletion.   Darkstar1st (talk) 21:31, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I was just looking for the clarification.Ransdy (talk) 01:36, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Merging
I support the merging of this article with the article Industrial democracy. --Eduen (talk) 07:10, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Oppose merge. Industrial democracy is a specific, and perhaps the ultimate, form of Workplace democracy. It is distinctly notable as the apogee of workplace democracy. While many western societies exhibit forms of workplace democracy ("the application of democracy in all its forms ... in the workplace"), few have industrial democracy ("in organizations employing industrial democracy they also have the final decisive power (they decide about organizational design and hierarchy as well)").

 * Closing, given the uncontested opposition (after allowing a month). Klbrain (talk) 22:08, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose, yeah, they are different. Carptrash (talk) 22:39, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Quality
There's still a lot of unsourced material in the article, but it's clearly not a stub. Upgrading quality classification to "start" Rosguill (talk) 03:07, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

False pretext?
Pretext is a false reason so "false pretext" is like "false falsification", and has no sens unless someone only pretends that he or she is acting on the pretext. But, in the context of the article, the pretext is real. Vikom (talk) 01:26, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it's safe to assume they meant to write "false pretense". signed,Rosguill talk 02:04, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * However, as an employer, you have enough power to fire your employee on some pretext without resorting to false pretenses. You don't have to pretend to be something that you are not. Vikom (talk) 22:42, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Poor source in Criticism section
Source 7 (Northouse, P.G.) is an unverifiable source (costly book) that is biased (on leadership where workplace democracy removes leaders in the workplace) and appears to contradict all evidence available on the subject (see source 4, Doucouliagos, Chris) --Dcarroll9999 (talk) 01:15, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
