Network Economy

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article reads like a neologism with serious neutrality issues (according to somebody?). Has remained the same for about the last three years (excluding format changes).

 * I'm not sure it's a neologism, but it reads like an essay. It's also missing context: The question "What is a network economy?" doesn't seem answered beyond the term itself. Also, an economy is technically a network in itself (even if it's star topology), which may mean the term is either self-redundant or is better used in one of the other economy types as well.  --Sigma 7 (talk) 22:43, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. Rather vague regarding what it's about, and looks like an essay rather than an article. There are sources that discuss the 'Network Economy' in some detail, so it may be possible to have a properly sourced, more focused article, but I have the feeling that 'Network Economy' simply means business in the era of the internet, which doesn't seem like a tight enough topic for an encyclopedia article.--Michig (talk) 05:39, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment - Jargon-filled original essay. I hesitate to advise giving it the boot as a Non-Notable Neologism, however; it seems to be a economics concept with some documented meat. A really bad article about a legitimate encyclopedic topic, in my estimation... Which implies KEEP, per the rules of the road at AfD... Tough call. —Carrite, Sept. 26, 2010.
