 * Comment – I have copied content into the article from an earlier revision of it. It now has some content. North America1000 07:27, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The term "giganomics" is an ill-defined and glorified neologism for precarious self-employment. It has not received any scholarly attention (at least no article citations pop up in the EBSCOHost database). Right now the article only defines the term and documents its use by news outlets, without providing any content as to the term's original creation (by whom? when? where?), the number of persons affected by "giganomics", the role of giganomics in the broader economy, its differentiation from precarious self-employment, etc. "Giganomics" belongs into the Wiktionary, not into an encyclopedia (at least, not yet). --Arbraxan (talk) 09:42, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment: If I am reading this correctly, "giganomics" is essentially another name for what is more commonly referred to as the "gig economy", which definitely has received scholarly attention. If there were a standalone gig economy article, I would suggest redirecting it there - however, gig economy currently redirects to temporary employment, which is literally correct but a bit misleading (the gig economy works far more through the likes of Uber or Airbnb than through traditional employment agencies).
