 * Redirect to Economy and Society, the usual translation of Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, an important book by Max Weber about which we already have an article. This doesn't look like a dictionary definition to me; it looks like an attempt to create a stub about one translation of part of Weber's work: Economic Organization is a term coined in a book, The Theory of Social and Economic Organization, by Max Weber that was translated into English by A. M. Henderson and Talcott Parsons.Weber, Max (1947). The Theory of Social and Economic Organization, translated by A. M. Henderson and Talcott Parsons. Edited with an introduction by Talcott Parsons. New York: Free Press. As stated in the book's Preface, it is "a translation of part I of Max Weber's Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, which was in turn originally published as volume III of the collaborative work Grundriss der Sozialoekonomik." - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:18, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete It's not actually a dictionary definition because it doesn't define the word, it just says where it was defined, and I'm not even convinced by that: the article on the book doesn't mention "economic organization" as a phrase and I'm not convinced that the phrase has a meaning beyond the obvious. I'm unsure about a redirect - who would search for this term, and would they expect to find themselves on an article about a Weber book? --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:50, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with Colapeninsula on this one that a redirect would be implausible. Economic Organization is a broad term and I find it unlikely that the majority searching for such a term would be wanting to read about Mr. Weber's book. Ducknish (talk) 23:03, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Doesn't seem it would be a useful redirect — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdventurousSquirrel (talk • contribs) 07:14, 15 March 2013‎
