Downward social comparison

 * – ( View AfD View log )

It consits of one line, even though it is atleast 4 years old. The information could probably be merged somewhere. Theres no point having an article for what appears to be a dictionary entry. Brad7777 (talk) 02:08, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Delete - Already covered (in more detail) by social comparison theory. DoctorKubla (talk) 09:18, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete: Just a rewording of the title. DoctorKubla's point clearly shows there is no loss if it is removed as a larger article already includes any information this one would contain. --Pusillanimous 19:42, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Social comparison theory: this is a plausible search term, and the concept is discussed in the proposed target article.  --Lambiam 20:56, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect seems like the appropriate conclusion. I've stricken my vote; Lambiam is probably right about its usefulness as a search term. --Pusillanimous 21:10, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
