Social productivity

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Original research basically unchanged since 2006. It is weird that it was frequented by many to fix typos and links and other subuseful stuff, but nobody actually paid attention to its content.

 * Comment Clearly an essay. Unfortunately for this process, it does appear to be a notable term. See for example a paper by Wahrendorf and others on social productivity and the elderly, by Barnett on social productivity and the law and a definition on its use in social science. I suspect that is why it has survived and it probably needs a clean up rather than deletion. The approach delete and let somebody else recreate may not be the right one if the article is salvageable. Unfortunately, I'm not sufficiently familiar with the topic to judge. AJHingston (talk) 20:55, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * "Unfortunately, I'm not sufficiently.." -- You nailed it. Who guarantees that this text is not a complete bullshit? And that is why it survived (virtually unchanged for 5 years): nobody knows and nobody cares. Lom Konkreta (talk) 16:42, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * P.S. The exact same situation was with "Economic progress". Lom Konkreta (talk) 17:51, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete what seems to be an OR-laden, barely sourced essay. Kansan (talk) 02:41, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

 * I've removed the top and tail sections which seemed to be just dictionary-esqe definitions of the words; I hope that leaves just the core. But even there, it is needing significant cleanup - references for the assertions etc. Maybe it can be tidied and taken further from this kernel, but I suspect not, so weak delete.

 * Delete per nom. & others, as well as WP:OR. While there is a list of references, none are cited in the text of the article, and it is far from clear how they substantiate the content. --JayJasper (talk) 21:55, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
