 * Delete — Not a notable topic; simply someone's toughts on a combination of two separate subjects. Unfortunately, no speedy deletion criterion jumped out at me as a shortcut to discussion. JFHJr (㊟) 20:08, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OR. Lugia2453 (talk) 01:23, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete and someone start an SPI if necessary. ⁓ Hello  71  16:38, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * keep, source, merge with the other article, and expand A valid topic, about which there are many references available. This seems a good faith but naïve atempt at an article, attempted in two versions under different titles.   DGG ( talk ) 17:13, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I did a quick check for books in WorldCat: Favre, Jean Paul, and André November. Color and, Und, Et Communication. Zürich: ABC Edition, 1979 has been published in several languages & is in hundreds of libraries. Knight, Carolyn, and Jessica Glaser. The Graphic Designer's Guide to Effective Visual Communication: Creating Hierarchies with Type, Image, and Color. Hove: RotoVision, 2000 is also in hundreds of libraries. Arnoldi, Per, and James Manley. "Colour Is Communication": Selected Projects for Foster+Partners 1996>2006. Basel: Birkhäuser, 2007 is a more specialized book on the work of a single firm, illustrating the appropriateness of the phrase. Also immediate relevant are Berger, Arthur Asa. Seeing Is Believing: An Introduction to Visual Communication. Mountain View, Calif: Mayfield Pub. Co, 1998.And there's Tufte, Edward R. Visual Design of the User Interface: Information Resolution, Interaction of Design Elements, Color for the User Interface, Typogragphy and Icons, Design Quality. Armonk, N.Y.: IBM, 1989.-- and his later famous works -- some of us may have heard of him. Additionally, ever book of graphic communication discusses this extensively  DGG ( talk ) 17:45, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Largely redundant to Color psychology, and the chunks of copyvio I've had to remove from this and the not SPI confirmed yet user's other article make me extremely concerned for the remaining content. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 09:07, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak delete and merge non-redundant information into the abovementioned article. MountWassen (talk) 07:39, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge into color and communication. How colour affects communication should be merged into color and communication and stand or fall with color and communication. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 12:49, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
 * For color and communication, I posted, "Merge into color psychology. The topic of color psychology is color and communication. As noted in the color psychology lead paragraph, color psychology is the study of color as a determinant of human behavior. Human behavior only is affected by color if color is communicated to the human. If the color is not communicated to the human, then the human is not affected by it. "Color and communication" is a fork of color psychology and covers the same topic - the psychology reaction of humans to the communication reception of color. Topics that would be different from this are (i) the communication transmission of color from a source item (e.g., how they need to use gold in stained glass to get wine red and violet to transmit outward) and (ii) communication travel of color (e.g. reflective light waves through the air and things that may affect such travel) between its transmission from a source item and its receiption by a target (e.g., a human). Since color and communication is a fork of color psychology, merge any reliably sourced information into color psychology and delete the rest of color and communication." -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:14, 8 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. If there were any useful and well-sourced material in this article, I'd vote! for a merge to Color psychology.  However, the article apparently interweaves OR and legitimate sourced material, with no way of distinguishing one from the other (since all the citations are piled up at the end, with no indication of which sources go with which assertions).  I don't see any way of extracting useful material from this article for a section in the color-psychology article, short of going through the reference list and writing the new section from scratch.  Copy the reference list to Talk:Color psychology, then delete this article as unsalvageable.  Ammodramus (talk) 03:37, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
