Social data revolution

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and full of meaningless and unencyclopedic neologisms and jargon. Madcoverboy (talk) 15:45, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * keep - valid, meaningful and discussed concept, even if neologism. Although the article must be cleaned from unreferenced essay stuff. Loggerjack (talk) 17:03, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OR and WP:NEO. This is not an article on the subject matter utilising the sources presented but a distillation or take upon them. Some of them do not even mention the given subject in more than a politically tangental way. This is more like a newspaper article or blog post than an encyclopedia entry. - Rushyo  Talk  17:38, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - I'm not infatuated with contemporary social science jargon, but this topic seems to meet GNG. A fairly new term, yes, but about fairly new technology — so that is to be expected. Nicely constructed article, too, and that really should be taken into consideration when a topic is on the borderline... Carrite (talk) 04:19, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - There are at least a dozen related concepts/articles in wikipedia relating to social data and the internet; social data revolution fits in and clearly has a number of cited sources. Apologies if the writing style isn't up to the standards, that's why it's a wiki and other folks are free to edit the entry to add the appropriate level of polish.  jeremypetercarr 11:59, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as WP:OR. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:19, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep but move to Social data without a redirect. The "revolution" part is what ruins the article and makes it a silly neologism.  The part about mining social data is actually quite interesting, and I couldn't find any other articles that already cover that subject.  &mdash;SW&mdash; communicate 00:29, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Comment - Snotty Wong's renaming idea makes good sense to me; a redirect would be costless, however, so I'd recommend a simple name change (with redirect) in the somewhat likely event this closes Keep. Carrite (talk) 23:08, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
