Alberta Advantage

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

doesn't belong on wikipedia; any useful information can be included elsewhere! Aurush kazemini (talk) 17:33, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Alberta Advantage reads like a marketing screed for Alberta. Scrap whatever useful information is in it for the Economy of Alberta article. Aurush kazemini (talk) 06:17, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. I don't see why anything worth saying on this subject can't be said at Economy of Alberta, as Aurush suggests.  TastyCakes (talk) 15:31, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Google News archive and Books searches find plenty of coverage for this marketing campaign. Any content that is not directly relevant to the campaign should be removed or merged elsewhere, but there's still plenty of scope for an article on the campaign itself.

 * Keep. This is encyclopedic and well sourced.  Notability has been strongly asserted by Google News and Google books hits posted above.  There have been no strong arguments for deleting this article, other than personal opinions.  --MrShamrock (talk) 06:21, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and merge the basic info per Aurush kazemini. The sources provided are for the Albertan economy, not this marketing phrase. Since the article is about the phrase, these sources serve very little purpose. Yes, Albert's being written about, its economy is being written about. So, move that over to another article. The rest of the article serves to illustrate that Alberta's economy is booming. Technically, this has nothing to do with the phrase. In other words, even if Alberta's economy was tanking, the government may still use a slogan such as this. A redirect to the Economy of Alberta article would suffice for anyone searching for the phrase.  freshacconci  talk talk  15:37, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: was booming ;) TastyCakes (talk) 15:46, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Didn't want to be the one to say that...  freshacconci  talk talk  15:48, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Dancing on the edge of WP:OR, given that the references aren't about the slogan, but are supporting economic statistics in what's essentially an essay about what makes Alberta such an advantageous place. A real encyclopedia article about this phrase might be possible, but this isn't it — and realistically, it's very unlikely that we can write anything so encyclopedically useful about it that a short section in Economy of Alberta wouldn't be sufficient.
