 * Procedural Note - there are social selling and "social selling" (note the quotes) that are essentially identical. Whatever decision comes of one should apply to the other, and if for some reason there is a keep, one should be redirected to the other. Chris857 (talk) 14:50, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
 * That is being handled procedurally. The newer is a copy and paste move of the older after the AfD was started, perhaps to bypass it, and has been proposed for speedy deletion as such. Fiddle   Faddle  16:38, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Edits now merged to social selling. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:05, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
 * With that said, I vote Delete or Redirect to social media marketing. This blog? from Forbes (June 2013) indicates that "social selling" is a very recent neologism, and I can only find blogs discussing this topic. It does not seem fundamentally different from a form of marketing in a social media platform. Chris857 (talk) 14:50, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
