Recession-proof industries

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

This article is an essay on the subject, not a cited article that asserts the notability of the obviously interesting but non notable topic. Lack of citations lead to a total lack of authority, and lack of authority devalues Wikipedia. That recession is a buzzword at present is undeniable, but this article is not a useful reference point Fiddle Faddle (talk) 15:42, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as possibly Original research, and an essay, not an encyclopedia entry. Theseeker4 (talk) 16:33, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete immediately as grossly misleading the reader. It all depends on the starting state of economy, the depth of recession, and the government's priorities - who gets help and who does not. Retail (especially small-scale groceries) folds first, insurance goes down with the banks, taking medical services with it... no one is insured against it. And don't even try selling ACs next summer... NVO (talk) 16:52, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete and borderline G11 due to the little spam external link at the bottom. May be recession-proof, but certainly not deletion-proof. Lacks verifiable sources and is laden with original research. MuZemike  ( talk ) 16:54, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Certainly a timely topic, but the claim "recession-proof" itself does not belong on WP. Nor do predictions of the future. Still I am not sure how this general topic should be covered. Steve Dufour (talk) 17:07, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, original research, perhaps advertising, and perhaps soapboxing as well. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:42, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
