Modern demographic transition

Seems more like an essay than an article, also a lack of notability. -  Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  23:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to Demographic transition. Article reads like an essay and although there are several google books hits, they all seem to be referring to modern "demographic transition" rather than "Modern demographic transition" as a theory worthy of its own article. ascidian  | talk-to-me  13:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 15:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment -- we should wait for a clarification from the original author, who seems to be a subject matter expert. (In my opinion, a talk-page message would have been more appropriate than an AfD.)  I would give it several days to a week, since new users often don't realize how quick things move here. Tlogmer ( talk / contributions ) 23:24, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Very weak keep if it is in fact a theory that produced some academic work and debate, it merits its own article, as many articles on failed theories do. The lack of sources makes it hard to keep, but there's room for improvement. Gorgonzola (talk) 13:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - No sourcing, no verifiability, no wikification, smacks of original research. If there is such a notable theory, this is not the article to tell us so. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  19:37, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
