Coordinatorism

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I am not convinced by this term's notability. It may have occurred in some works of Michael Albert, but it does not seems to have been used very much (if at all) outside the writings of the aforementioned author. The article does not contain anything which could not be described in other pages such as Bureaucratic collectivism, New class, State capitalism, etc. Moreover, as far as I know, no single existing political system has ever defined itself as "coordinatorist". IMHO, the article could be deleted, or perhaps merged with the Michael Albert article (or we could just delete without merging, and mention the concept in Michael Albert).


 * Delete or merge with Michael Albert (preferably delete, I'd say). Jean-Jacques Georges (talk) 16:45, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - no secondary coverage of this concept - although introduced by notable political theorists, it has not caught on - and therefore fails the general notability guideline. --Anthem 17:09, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: Anthem of joy has been blocked as a sockpuppet of Claritas. Hobit (talk) 18:24, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per fact that the AFD was made by a sockpuppet. Also I dont se eno apparent reason for deletion.--BabbaQ (talk) 18:38, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * My first reaction at reading this was : "What ? Are you calling me a sockpuppet ? Whose sockpuppet ?". FYI, it was me who started the AFD, not Anthem (or Claritas. No idea who that is). Also, the reason is stated above : no coverage besides a few mentions in the works of Michael Albert. This concept did not catch on. Also, no system ever defined itself as coordinatorist : this simply does not exist. Jean-Jacques Georges (talk) 20:42, 14 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as a neologism. This article also seriously overstates the contribution of the coiners of this phrase, who just coined a phrase. For the thesis itself, see the 1941 book by James Burnham, The Managerial Revolution, as well as the work of others. Scrabbling together an esoteric and unused "-ism" about this idea contributes nothing. Carrite (talk) 21:04, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * BTW, Burnham's phrase for this concept was "Managerial society." I don't see an article on the concept currently standing; there could probably be one written and sourced out — although WP is running a little slow on topics of intellectual history at this still early stage of its life...
