Human Capital Risk

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

An essay, not a Wikipedia article, and a potential advertising/COI problem, given the author (though it is not explicitly spammy at the moment). No original research, etc. etc. Writ Keeper (t + c) 15:25, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, I usually mention this but forgot: I originally PRODded this, but the prod was declined by the author. Writ Keeper (t + c) 15:41, 25 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete as unsourced original essay. Carrite (talk) 15:37, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Unsourced, unencyclopedic essay. --Michig (talk) 16:09, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's an essay, and probably could have been killed through PROD. Ducknish (talk) 20:46, 25 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Human capital. This is a notable topic, with about 1,100 hits on Google scholar. Unfortunately, the present article is an original essay with no sources. To write a well-formed article on this topic would require blowing it up, per WP:TNT and starting over. In the mean time, human capital risk is discussed at Human capital. Given that the topic is notable and my best guess is that users may very well want to search for this term, it is better to redirect to a short exposition than outright deletion. This also provides the base for an editor to write a proper article on this topic. --Mark viking (talk) 20:55, 25 March 2013 (UTC)


 * DELETE. This is not a very helpful article. Much better info out there (see Conference Board research). Even the info in the Human Capital page #Risk is pretty awful. HC Risk is much larger than individual people leaving off manhole covers. It's systematic form of value and risk.

 * Redirect to Human capital. The article, as it stands, should be deleted.  Independent of this, it is also a perfect candidate for a redirect to the Risk section of the Human capital article as noted by Mark viking.   Two birds, one stone.  -- ShinmaWa(talk) 22:20, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
