Money-rich, time-poor

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

unsourced article, might not be notable and could be a violation of WP:NEOLOGISM. Also seems like a wp:coatrack for discussing income and leisure time in general. Prisencolin (talk) 01:58, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment -- I did find this. GABHello! 23:59, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The article is poor, but the phrase is pretty certainly not a neologism, even in Wikipedia terms - it has been around (though often as "cash-rich" or "work-rich" rather than "money-rich") for over 25 years both as a marketing category and as an element of a sociological critique of modern society and consumerism (the earliest use I have found of the first is this from 1988, and of the second is this from 1990), and while treatments tend to be brief, they frequently take the trouble to explain the term and/or state why it is important in their more general discussions (see, for example, this, this, this and this). I am not entirely certain that the topic is best treated in a standalone article (it is part of a classification that would probably be best treated as a whole, and the classification itself is similar enough to several others that it might be better discussed in a wider context), but I can't currently find a suitable target for a redirect or where information from here would naturally slot into an exiting article - and the term does seem to be a valid search term for which we should be supplying at least some limited information on Wikipedia.

 * Keep/ Merge - the article is poor quality, but the concept seems notable. It is one configuration of work-life balance, I would be happy for Money-rich, time-poor to be merged with that article - unless article was improved enough to be standalone. Jonpatterns (talk) 17:43, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep I've always wondered what the term for this specific concept is, and why no article exists. Thankfully it does now. Hawaan12 (talk) 13:54, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
