Downward Mobility

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Dictionary definition. Prod was removed without any improvement made, but with a promise to finish the article by May 8. A promise to finish the article at some future date does not warrant an article now Mr Adequate (talk) 02:53, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm happy with it being a redirect.-Mr Adequate (talk) 00:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I made it into a redirect for Social mobility. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 03:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Social mobility as it's a sub-concept and probably not notable in its own right. Social mobility could do with some serious work though, it's a notable subject but the content appears poorly written and poorly referenced. Ryan Paddy (talk) 03:21, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Social mobility, as it's just a dictionary definition, but assume good faith and wait until May 8.— Insanity Incarnat  e  04:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete this useless framework of an article and the silly illustration, then redirect; I think I prefer economic mobility as a target, but I will accept the other. --Dhartung | Talk 04:44, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, a better target for the redirect. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 23:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Keep. I think the article is notable. Assume WP:GF and wait for expansion on May 8th. Although the image is silly IMO!! Nk.sheridan    Talk  22:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You can always convert the redirect into a full article, but it is best to delete empty articles until they are full. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 23:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Keep. You can do whatever you want with the article in a day or so, but I have to make a wikipedia addition for an assignment in one of my classes. My prof just needs to see that I have made the page, so after a couple of days, feel free to delete my article or edit the crap out of it as you see fit. Also, I agree that the image is dumb, but at least with it being self produced I don't have to worry about copyright infringement. (An image is a required part of the assignment) Thanks for putting up with such a newbie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.21.203 (talk) 04:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Will your professor accept the article if it's in the user namespace instead of the article namespace? If so, you could move or copy the page to a subpage of your user page (a procedure known as userfication). If you are Wojci028, recreate the page at User:Wojci028/Downward Mobility. There won't be any problem with the page if you do that, and the original page can be deleted or redirected as we see fit.— Insanity Incarnat  e  06:06, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I have recreated the page under my userpage as requested. You guys can delete this page if you want I guess. Will there be any way to search for my article under my user page without including my username in the search? ie: Will I be able to search "downward mobility" and be redirected to the page that I created? --Wojci028 (talk) 06:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Please note that Wikipedia is not a free host. Why does it have to be on Wikipedia? Your professor should be prepared to accept it on your school's computer? Why do you need to search for the article - you know its URL, you can go to it directly. It can be found via your contributions. In fact it can already be found in Wikipedia search via this AfD and Google will probably pick it up in a day or two. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 15:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
