Survival capital

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Original research. The original article included a paragraph about the creator of this concept, one Iva Isaković, whose name is similar to the username of this article's creator. The concept was apparently created as part of the author's Master's Thesis. No other uses of this terminology can be found. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:50, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. It looks like original research to me too. I can't find any reliable sources that discuss the term in this context, and I can find nothing on a search for "Iva Isaković" that mentions this work. Of the two sources given, one is a definition of a different term, Social Capital, and the other is a search result that has some hits on the words "survival" and "capital" individually, but not the phrase itself. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:10, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Pure original research. The second link has the illusion of an article entitled "SURVIVAL CAPITAL", but turns out to be the results of a search engine-- you can type in anything in the upper right hand corner.  Mandsford 19:52, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

 * This is just the beginning of the mentioned list and the rest will be considered later.Master work is not testing presence of concept because it is obvious that the concept is very familiar to our years and eyes and used by actors and different promoters of social capital practice. So, master work is not criteria for reality of survival capital but Internet practice including Wikipedia. Master work is trying to denote survival capital as academic notion and candidate for contemporary social theory and I am not selling my vision for best mark. As I understand Wikipedia policy rules, my article has only Wikipedia profile without informations specific for original master work. http://www.earth.org.in/organic-farming.txt There can be no economy without ecology and all ecological losses are erosion of our survival capital on this earth.

William Goldberg & Co For over twenty years, the firm has helped companies with profit improvement, business consulting, expansion or survival capital, and mergers & acquisitions. http://www.business.com/directory/financial_services/investment_banking_and_brokerage/mergers_and_acquisitions_manda/consulting_services/ For those companies that are able, tapping the public markets for equity regardless of whether to raise “survival capital” or dry powder has been made more challenging by the increase in volatility and the sharp decrease in company valuations. http://www.marine-money.com/archive/tag/ethan-ram
 * I've just checked those sources. Some of them mention the phrase "survival capital", but not a single one of them defines or describes what it is. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 18:16, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Article has lots of great information. V RS --Anna O&#39;Leary (talk) 09:35, 17 January 2011 (UTC) — Anna O'Leary (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * But can you find any sources to verify that it is a notable concept, as required by WP:N? Just give us a couple - that's all we need -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:07, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete No sign of use in a reliable source. Google books and scholar come up largely negative.  Sailsbystars (talk) 14:04, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Last year when I started with master work I have found about 200 Internet online locations with Survival Capital topic ,with different degrees of independence of the concept Eg Survival Capital,,,Capital in Surviving ... Capital ....Survive .Six month later I have found 400 Internet locations with same topic and much more articles using Survival Capital as construct.The things are moving so quickly to the fact that Survival Capital is reality of contemporary existential practice and my master work is dedicated to importance of this concept for our civilization .Thanks to people who are not deleting our reality ,who recognize and have a vision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivaland (talk • contribs)
 * Comment If there are 200 - 400 sources, please provide a citation any of them to indicate that this term has actually been the topic of significant coverage. So far, we have only your word for it.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:50, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * But this article is your own synthesis, based on your own research into those sources - and that breaches the WP:SYNTH and WP:OR rules (I have a Masters dissertation of my own that probes what I think is an important and emerging concept, and which got me good marks for original thinking, but it is not notable according to Wikipedia rules). For this article to be considered notable, you need to get your own Masters work published, recognized, and written about by multiple reliable sources. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:55, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - I don’t believe that this article contains original thesis. First of all in the article there is no mention of master thesis there is only mentioning of internet and academic usage of the term survival capital. Author also provided several web pages which indicate that term survival capital has been around for awhile. I find this article an important and valuable, it provides some new insight in general development of capital in new and modern social order particularly through modern media like the Internet  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wukicevic (talk • contribs) 21:15, 17 January 2011 (UTC)  — Wukicevic (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * The author has not provided a single web page that in any way defines or describes the concept of "survival capital". Also, "new insight" is not what Wikipedia is for - Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and should only contain information that is already known and notable. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 21:55, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment The original form of the article clearly indicated that the concept of "survival capital" discussed in the article was the concept of an author named Iva Isaković who created the concept in his (her?) Master's Thesis. That citation has later been removed, but its presence in the original article indicates that the source of this article is original research.  The link farm that has been added to the article really just consists of a bunch of articles that satisfy the term "survival capital".  Each link uses the term in a different context with a different meaning, including one that claims that "Wellington will soon overtake Seattle WA as the heart attack survival capital of the world."  Surely this is not the meaning that the author has in mind, and the addition of such a link farm merely serves to obfuscate the issue.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 22:00, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete I knew what the article was about from the title. Then I started reading it, and found myself in a mire. I think the article could be reduced to "Survival capital is capital you need in order to survive". With possibly a second sentence, "You must make this capital provision out of your other capital assets". I could be wrong. Words are my business, however. As to references, what is http://radaris.com/p/Jessica/Roar/ there for? It appears to be some form of social networking and doesn't contain the word 'sur' (the box went red when I'd got that far typing in 'survival'). http://www.accessecon.com/pubs/EB/2007/Volume26/EB-07Z10012A.pdf seems to be talking about cultural capital. The third random one I picked turned out to be already mentioned above. So I picked a fourth - http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,900094,00.html and bingo! Well, a brief use of the words in an article about something else. Peridon (talk) 23:00, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * KEEP If Wikipedia is Encyclopedia for informations that are "...already known and notable" than Wikipedia is running after other mass media and Wikipedia is media that did nor recognize presence of concept yet or just hesitate to be the first Encyclopedia to do it.I understand.But Wikipedia has the chance to be the first because of its nature and position-encyclopedia with modern and actual access. Wikipedia, please just type Survival Capital in eg google and you should found 400 or more articles. I know that some of them are not point of this article but are "some" important for deleting this article more than all others? Everybody heard and feel familiar with this notion,even my 10 year old neighbor.Survival Capital is interesting for the whole modern World and process made a notion to be mature for encyclopedia and supported by it. I told before that there are no definitons of Survival Capital and this is the point of my master work which is not important here.But there are descriptions which underline value and function of concept for people and institution using this concept on Internet again and again and again ...... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.200.65.73 (talk) 06:47, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "But Wikipedia has the chance to be the first because of its nature and position-encyclopedia with modern and actual access." - Wilkipedia does not want to be the first, because the publishing of original research is NOT the purpose of an encyclopedia.
 * "Wikipedia, please just type Survival Capital in eg google and you should found 400 or more articles. I know that some of them are not point of this article but are "some" important for deleting this article more than all others?" - Show us one reliable source, then - just one - that defines and describes "Survival capital" in a way that would support this article. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:47, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Keep This article contains only informations about Survival Capital which are known and notable yet and original aspect of notion should be discussed in another form ,hope soon will find a place here,Everything on Wikipedia was original once. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.200.65.73 (talk • contribs)
 * Comment I think this IP editor has made their opinion well known in several posts on this page already. However, rather than soliciting the opinions of individuals, we are actually trying to establish whether this article meets the relevant guidelines.  No indications have been given by any of the "keep" !voters as to how it does meet guidelines.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:12, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
