Performance improvement plan

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is partly a copyvio, it seems to me (from this, and besides that, it is unverified and outlines a plan of action more than an encyclopedic topic. I am not convinced that this is a notable topic in the first place, and the article as it is now is not in accordance with our guidelines, which propose we do not write manuals on how to act in certain situations.

 * Yup, we need to cut this content. Copyvio and howto.  However, I think there's an article to be written about PIPs (which I know as "Personal Improvement Plans" rather than "Performance Improvement Plans", but it's a recognizable and distinct topic within human resources). I'm minded to run with redirect to Professional development for the moment.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  10:52, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: Hundreds of sources on gBooks and gScholar. It seems "Performance Improvement Plan" is the most popular, but I saw the first P standing for personal and program too. Check the phrases in quotes on gScholar for popularity in academia. --Odie5533 (talk) 11:38, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Merge any referenced non-copyvio material to performance improvement. I don't see the ned for separate articles on these closely related topics. -- Whpq (talk) 17:48, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
