 * Keep as it appears to be a notable concept. Rescue? Bearian&#39;sBooties 19:58, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Undoubtedly notable.--Bedivere 21:05, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Definatly notable, over 12000 Google Scholar results, 7 Google News Results, over 1000 Google Book results. The article needs citing, but I can't do it now. - Fosnez 02:27, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Just saying 'Notable' or 'Notable per Google hits' doesn't really argue effectively for notability. This concept isn't addressed specifically in any of the top hits on the Google or Google scholar results. It appears to mean a number of different things, typically along the lines of privatization or partial privatization. It should be deleted or stubbed until someone can provide some evidence that the concept as described in this page actually exists/is used. Avruch Talk 22:48, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Boring as watching paint dry, to me, but certainly notable. I've added a further reading section with a dozen books on the subject including Social Welfare and the Market: Papers from a Conference on Marketisation which seems to evidence that at least a notable conference was held on the subject. I suggest that the lede be expanded to explain the subject a bit better with plenty of wikilinks to the many business and economics articles that intertwine with marketization topics including Milton Friedman. The fluff a bit about regional/global variationsBenjiboi 17:00, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've added two references in the introduction. Topic is definitely notable. -- Vision Thing -- 21:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
