DIKW

A statement on the article's talk page describes the situation perfectly: "'It seems to be original research and hard for the practical use. I also agree with critical observations of User:Mazer. - Unique reference is a personal webpage... See: WP:NOR and WP:NPOV'" Mister Senseless&trade; (Speak - Contributions) 17:23, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. The article can be improved, but the underlying concept and initialism is in used in many books and journal articles so it is notable enough IMO. The article has a couple of journal references already. --Itub (talk) 09:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. It seems obvious from the external links section (as of today) that there are substantial references to be found. Maybe it uses personal pages as links but it's not the authors of those pages that posted the article, hence this is not a WP:NOR violation. Heck, DIKW is in the acronym finder .
