Commercialization of love

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is largely a personal essay by the article creator (see, which was his only contribution to Wikipedia). Nothing links to this article except the bios of two researchers mentioned: Eva Illouz and Arlie Russell Hochschild.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. The topic is notable. The article provides a definition, has some refs, and doesn't seem to be a "I think that..." type of an essay that would be TNT-able. It's hardly perfect, but I think it's a passable C-class assessment wise. I don't see why it should be deleted. Being a WP:ORPHAN is not a valid reason, nor is the author being a WP:SPA an issue here, neither. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:42, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
