Modern Gold Rush

Procedural nomination. Was PRODed by Tedder but there is a declined PROD in the history. HJ Mitchell |  Penny for your thoughts?   18:35, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * DELETE. I didn't look in the history- doh. Obviously, delete as a neologism and an essay. tedder (talk) 18:37, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep I've rewritten it and added a number of sources. The modern gold rush is a documented term for the current rise in gold prices. And the term itself has been around for a while. Silver  seren C 20:52, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to Gold. Silverseren did improve the article (it was absolutely hopeless before) and added good links. But the term remains vague and undefined. Even the links that mention the term "modern gold rush" seem unclear what they mean by it: do they mean the price going up, or increased mining activity, or what? It's not a notable, defined event like the California gold rush so I suggest putting the information in the "Gold" article. --MelanieN (talk) 15:27, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Gold is far to long of an article to have more crammed into it. Silver  seren C 19:03, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete The topic, the rise in gold prices in the last 40 years which along with increased demand has driven an increase in mining, is notable and should have an article. The expression "modern gold rush" seems to be to just be a fairly obvious thing to say which has been used a number of times, but no clear meaning. Kitfoxxe (talk) 03:27, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Then shouldn't you be asking for a renaming of the article, rather than a deletion? Silver  seren C 03:37, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That's a good idea. On the other hand there might be other articles on the general topic already. Kitfoxxe (talk) 12:18, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Then you should look for them and use them in your argument. You shouldn't vote delete merely on the premise that there "might" be other articles. Silver  seren C 18:39, 20 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Note: This article has been nominated for rescue. Silver  seren C 19:03, 20 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment I've listed the article for rescue. Silver  seren C 19:03, 20 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete It was originally an article called Gold Websites, listing websites to sell gold, and clearly a commercial. Then after someone prodded it for deletion, it was renamed by its creator to Modern Gold Rush, still including the list of websites that sell gold, and still sounding like a commercial.  One person has changed it from the article it was, to what it is now.  I don't see the difference between an old gold rush or a modern one.  All sources are about different unrelated things.  A gold rush is people rushing to where gold is at to mine it.  "Like a modern gold rush" is an expression that is commonly used, but I don't think we could make an article about that.

 * I just had a good look at the article gold rush. It list all the gold rushes throughout history, including modern times.  No reason to have this page at all.   D r e a m Focus  10:02, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
