Status class

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

User Piotrus objected to my PROD, but this user was the original creator of this article. I am taking this article to AfD because the subject is NOT NOTABLE.

It's based on Max Weber's "formula", of which I have looked for and found no references. A different article, Social Class, IS notable, since it is based on multiple references from a number of different people.

Since this article is based on the views of only ONE person, I would also say that this article counts as ADVERTISING.

This has been a stub for over 6 years, and still has no references. Once again, I have looked for references and found none. It is NOT notable. Beeshoney (talk) 15:51, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

User Piotrus' reason for removing my PROD - "different from social class" - is completely ambiguous as well. Beeshoney (talk) 15:54, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep, possibly rename. My comment on social class was a result of nominator's prod comment ("is covered in other "social class" article"). Social class needs cleanup, and some status material should be moved from it to this article. Status class is a sociological term, used in many works (just do a search on Google Print). That said, status group currently redirects to status class, yet it appears a more popular term for the same concept; I'd suggest renaming, pending comments from other sociologists, hopefully to come here. PS. Advertising? Seriously? Lol. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 16:11, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, rename. I think a rename to status group would clear this up best as it's the most popular term for the concept of Stand (Weber's original German term). There's a whole ton of serious academic references available. Weber's work on status groups forms the backbone for large parts of 20th century sociology, and much beyond. -- zzuuzz (talk) 17:08, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
