Standard work

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Nonencyclopedic original research. "Standard work" is a vague term, one of many of the kind: seminal work, influential work, standard textbook, standard reference, major work, classic work etc. ad infinitum. Mukadderat (talk) 00:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - no sources, and the term is pretty self-explanatory, so moving to wiktionary is probably not necessary. Pundit | utter  00:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - unless it can be supported with clearly defined references. As it is now, it appears to simply be original research tied specificly to a single religious body, which is already covered by Standard Works Dbiel (Talk) 01:34, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - this looks like an excuse for lots of original research. Karanacs (talk) 02:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - If there were references, I'd vote otherwise. Lack of references, and OR summarizes my vote.  Soxred93 | talk bot 02:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, the sort of thing that would make a good Atlantic essay but not an encyclopedic article. There's no way we could source a list of "standard works", which is just an opinion anyway. It would be the equivalent of having List of four-star movies. --Dhartung | Talk 04:41, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete no refs, lot's of OR, so delete.  RC-0722 247.5/ 1  16:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete it might be possible to write an article on this, but it would have to be done from scratch. DGG (talk) 01:31, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. It's an extremely important designation by scholars in all fields. It is a mere and needs much development, and I'm going to designated it  . It is difficult to write about since it's hard to find reference. But it certainly is not Original research since I did not discover this widely known practice of desifnating scholarly studies as standard works. --Ludvikus (talk) 13:37, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
