 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article seems to be a summary of a published paper. There are no independent reliable sources characterizing any importance or significance of Coase's Penguin. Rather than being the topic of reliable sources, the essay seems to be reference material that would be cited among many other references by downstream authors. There does not seem to be enough reliable source material on Coase's Penguin that is independent of Coase's Penguin for this article to meet Notability. Although the article does not belong on Wikipedia, Wikisource might be an appropriate location for this article. --  Jreferee  (Talk) 07:03, 1 September 2007 (UTC) 
 * Delete. Cited 73 times in Web of Science. I do not find that such an astounding figure as to warrant an article for an individual scientific paper. Merge into the article for the author. Most notable academics have several papers in this range. I would not like to start the practice of considering papers notable unless there were actual evidence that they were viewed as landmarks. I don't see it here. DGG (talk) 10:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
