Marketing of Services

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Hodgepodge article consisting of trite observations about the nature of services and service organizations (they can be large or small!) without any real factual information about marketing. Reads as a how-to, telling us what to consider in marketing services, but no information about the marketing of services. No in-line references, and I'm wondering whether the text was copied from one or both of the hard-copy sources given at the bottom. Written over six months ago, no improvement since then. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:10, 7 April 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, like most such texts, it's an elaborate tissue of rhetorical tautologies. (A large stone is greater in size than a small stone.  Large stones also differ from small stones by virtue of the fact that they occupy more space.  Large stones are more difficult to move than small ones.)  Seems to be referenced to one author's books, which makes me suspect that this is original research and may be intended to be promotional. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:40, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Although I wouldn't describe the article as tautological, I also wouldn't say that it contains any useful information about its ostensible topic, the marketing of services, either. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:54, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
