Diversity paradox

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article appears to be self-promotion rather than full development of multiple perspectives and authors (WP:SPAM) DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 10:31, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment. See also Articles for deletion/J. Jacob Jenkins. The article creator removed the AfD notices from both articles and has been warned not to do that again. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:16, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON. This relies on only one (primary) source that, according to Google scholar, has only one citation, by its own author. In order for a topic to have the neutral coverage we need to describe it encyclopedically, we need sources that are independent of the subject and its creator, and they just don't exist. By the way, there are many hits for the phrase "diversity paradox" in Google scholar, but they all appear to refer to unrelated work. It is possible that one or more of those hits could be a more notable subject for an article. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:15, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge - Boil down to a paragraph or to a section under Affirmative action. Do not leave in such phrases as the current opening (!) of the article: "The diversity paradox is a theoretical concept in the field of organizational communication – a subfield within the larger discipline of communication studies." gidonb (talk) 16:33, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * But this is not about affirmative action. This construct is about narrative and identity. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 13:34, 2 May 2014 (UTC).
