Slow marketing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Nice idea, but it is really based on a http://slowmarketing.org website and one 2015 article in Marketing Magazine. This Wikipedia article was written by a student and clearly is a synthesis of the subject from a variety of blogs and personal websites. The October 2015 HuffPost blog article only name-checks the movement, while the Ad Age article looks good on the surface but is actually reporting about this Wikipedia article, so of questionable relevance. I'm not seeing sufficient proof this is a widely known aspect of 'slow' life and, it seems, this Wikipedia article is artificially promoting its validity. I'd argue at best it should be very selectively merged into the Slow movement (culture) article (using the Marketing Mag source). Alternatively it could just be deleted, being something not far short of a neologism at the moment.. Sionk (talk) 04:17, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete and draft & userfy if needed as the article is certainly troubled with no better signs of keeping and improving, delete and restart at best. SwisterTwister   talk  03:34, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment See also Articles for deletion/Slow living. Either keep all these breakout articles or merge them all back into the header article, Slow movement (culture), but keep the content.  I think keep as break out articles, not withstanding the need to improve them all. Aoziwe (talk) 14:21, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge to slow movement (culture). The Ad Age source isn't just about the Wikipedia article; it cites our article as proof that the movement exists, but it also cites other stuff.  There's also this article from  The New Zealand Herald.  But it's difficult to find enough sources to say that this is a notable concept independent of the slow movement.  I think a merge would be best for now.  In my opinion, some of these breakout articles were spun off a bit too early.  The notability isn't quite there yet for this, but it's still sourceable.
