Ecological design

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

Contains one single unsourced statement, clearly a quote from somewhere, for which a citation has been requested since Feb, and for which no citation has been provided. Sure, this might be worthy of an article once there's actually some content, but I believe that in its current state this sub-stub should be deleted and recreated when there's actually some verifiable information.

 * speedy keep There are a multitude of sources for improvement. Google books shows 733 items, or which at least 4 have exactly this phrase as their title. Eg., Ecological Design By Sim Van der Ryn, Stuart Cowan, Published by Island Press, 2007 (2nd ed., 1st is 1996). I haven't even checked articles. If one wants articles expanded, ask a suitable wkiproject, don' nominate the article for deletion. Or, even, do a little work yourself. DGG (talk) 08:39, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for the snidy "do a little work yourself" comment. I thought I did a little work here to improve Wikipedia. Obviously not. Bye, then. Pince Nez (talk) 08:57, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * sorry, I meant of course, do a little work on this article yourself, instead of nominating for deletion. Such as I did in adding a first ref. to the article, not just stating it here. Not much to be sure, but better than arguing. DGG (talk) 09:15, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Typing the entire definition quotation into Google gave 18 hits to books/articles &c that discuss the subject, and could be used to expand this stub. I have added the reference for the quotation, which turns out to be from the book that DGG found. Espresso Addict (talk) 16:24, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect - To Sustainable design. As shown by the link - one of the concepts included is Ecological design, and this article is Actively edited.  Thanks. ShoesssS Talk 18:31, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
