List of topics in industrial organization

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

Title aside, this article does not comprise a distinct subject in the field of economics. "Production" belongs in Manufacturing, and the other concepts in microeconomics and managerial economics (pricing already has its own article). It's just an unsourced amalgamation of topics (not even mergeable content) that are somehow related to production theory. FrankTobia (talk) 15:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It is easy to find references for this article and the article is GOOD--Puttyschool (talk) 20:53, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * So why don't you? -- Amalthea Talk 12:51, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete, because I think that the topic is already far better covered in Microeconomics and the more specialized Production theory basics etc., and the article as it is is really a mishmash of topics. The first section seems useful, and I could imagine it in form of a list or infobox (like on Four_p's). Nevertheless I'm not an economist, so I don't have a strong opinion about this. -- Amalthea Talk 12:51, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Struck my vote, since the first section has just been turned into a list. Thanks Protonk. -- Amalthea Talk 18:11, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Wizardman  02:24, 19 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - this topic is too broad to effectively cover anything. All material is already better provided in a number of other articles --T-rex 03:57, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. The first section is a collection of links to other articles, and would better fit in an infobox or category. From "Production systems" onward, there are no links anywhere, nor any citations. The remainder of the list-article reads like an exam cheat sheet. It states either unverifiable or miscellaneous factoids and would be extremely useful for picking out keywords to write a school essay about, but is of little encyclopedic value. ~ Jafet Speaker of many words 06:58, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Essay parts removed. The article has been moved to List of topics in industrial organization since it basically is one.  Meets WP:SAL. Protonk (talk) 17:43, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
