Seed Scale

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable concept. This "universal process" appears to be based on a single text, and the for-profit graduate school (http://www.future.org) that has been formed to promulgate the concept. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:18, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment This process seems to have (nearly) won some award and there are a number of other refs:    That's not to say that the article doesn't require cleanup. The info in the article and on the website is primary, so I hope some useful secondary sources can be included. A number of publications are listed at future.org, some of which may be impartial. -- Trevj (talk) 13:50, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment "Nearly" winning the Buckminster Fuller Award isn't really notable. Citation 2 and 3 appear to be references written by people associated with FutureGenerations projects praising the founder of that organization (Carl Taylor).  Citation 4 is a review of the book written about SEED-SCALE.  This might imply some notability. Citation 5 lists SEED-SCALE in passing ase one of several frameworks for considering local cultures in extension efforts.  Taken together, these citations are borderline for denoting notability.  The publications listed at future.org are all irrelevant as future.org is the organization that created SEED-SCALE, so they would all have to be considered self-published sources.

 * Delete Unreferenced psychobabble. Searching finds only the one book, and no significant commentary on it. Otherwise searching turns up biological references, not sociological ones (or whatever discipline you could assign this concept to). --MelanieN (talk) 04:03, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
