Organisational informatics

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Doesn't describe the subject in a way which can be understood by a non-expert. May correspond to a term created by the sole reference, who may also be the principle editor. Prod removed by an indescrimnent prod-remover who hasn't left a reason. (It had been 5 days 1 hour when the prod was removed, so executing the prod might be a valid outcome.) &mdash; Arthur Rubin (talk) 13:31, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep May? The nomination's speculation is easily refuted by a search. Colonel Warden (talk) 15:28, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Violation of WP:NEO. Ray Yang (talk) 21:30, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That is not a reason to delete. In any case, the phrase is obviously well-established since a topic appears under this heading in another encyclopedia over 10 years ago, as my search link shows. Colonel Warden (talk) 07:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, WP:NEO would be a reason to delete. I'm now not convinced it's accurate. &mdash; Arthur Rubin (talk) 12:39, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * NEO policy does not apply to this article. Organisational Informatics is a legitimate, established topic in the Organization Development field. University classes are taught about it. And it is a requirement for certain degree programs. The article may simply need the category changed to Category:Organizational studies and human resource management.


 * Keep as a real and valid subject for an encyclopedic article. Tagged for expert attention as it's quite difficult to understand. Significantly written about in the wider world - Peripitus (Talk) 12:28, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Per my comment above, this is an established academic topic in the Org Dev ouvre and should be represented in Wikipedia. The article is necessary and I fully agree with Arthur Rubin's adding the expert tag to get help in making the article more readable for laypeople. The category just needs to be corrected.
