It doesn't look and read like an encyclopedia article. I think it should be deleted. Kitcher45 (talk) 05:09, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now as my searches found links to suggest a better article could be made but I'm not currently seeing it and there's certainly been enough time for better to happen. Notifying 2009 tagger . SwisterTwister   talk  07:03, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as unreferenced original research. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:31, 14 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Public sector ethics which is at least cited. Ethics in public administration contains only one very poor reference, added by an SPA back in September, who also added most of the uncited content in a single edit; the reference appears to be WP:COI to boot. The article was in fact a bit better before that addition, but brief and totally uncited. Given the strong overlap, and the not unreasonable alternative title, a redirect seems the right solution.

 * Redirect to Public sector ethics. While the version of the article nominated doesn't look and read encyclopedic and is poorly sourced, it is most definitely not a subject of WP:Original research. A quick search will show hundreds of textbooks available from Amazon. I find the subject WP:Notable because of all this academic coverage of the subject. A Redirect is appropriate since a very-similar, well-sourced, peer-reviewed article already exists. - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 18:26, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
