Business as usual

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

The disambiguation page was recently moved to make way for this main article. I had previously given the topic some thought (and discussed with others) the best way of presenting the term when I merged two DABs, reforming the system whilst setting up the article about the policy. Anyhow, I diverge.

It is my considered opinion that an article about the general application of the term is destined to never be anything more than a dictionary definition. Wiktionary already includes a definition for the term, which is linked from the DAB page. Wikipedia is not designed for dictionary definitions, IMHO. Lacking an interaction with the business term, however, I ready to be convinced that a page could be supported about this application of the term. I just cannot see it at the moment, sorry. - Jarry1250 [ humourous – discuss ] 10:15, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Agreed. After deliberation I see your point. Here, I was trying to document something that could be used to contrast better with project and process -- but it is more of a dictionary definition. On that basis, I have just added a second meaning to Wiktionary. As the author of this article, if you want to revert the changes please go ahead. I'll modify the link to this article I created from the article project management. Thanks. Greyskinnedboy (talk) 10:41, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and move disambiguation page, article is no more than a dictionary entry. ViperSnake151 Talk  18:31, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Strong agreement from author - I created the page, and I'm convinced it should go, there are no dissenters, can it not just happen now? Greyskinnedboy  Talk  20:10, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
