Social IT

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Appears to be an WP:OR jargon-laden essay with nothing in terms of actual content, almost to the point of being incoherent and spammy. There appear to be mentions of the term "social IT" floating around based on a cursory search, but this article provides nothing from reliable sources. If anything, even if the topic is notable, WP:TNT applies. Kinu t/c 16:40, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete as a fine piece of buzzword bingo with spam links strewn about. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 20:00, 25 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep/rename or merge with information technology. What the article seems to be about is "use of social media in information technology." There are a couple of links referring to how companies are using Facebook and social websites in their IT, for example making solutions to IT issues public and searchable.

 * Here is a 469 page book on the subject of "social information technology". That is fairly conclusive proof of notability. I suggest stubifying or redirecting this page. We are going to have to include this expression, at least as a redirect. James500 (talk) 16:49, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Social media which seems the best target at the moment. If at some point in the future someone writes a properly sourced encyclopedic article on this as a distinct topic to Social media, fine, but for now I don't think we should keep it. --Michig (talk) 07:56, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - Topic is notable as indicated by previous comments and and . But, there's a copy-paste issue to be dealt with so something beyond a pure keep needs to happen here. ~KvnG 16:58, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
