The result was merge‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__ to Economic equilibrium as an AtD. While I acknowledge scope creep's comment around the sourcing not meeting the standard for content in a standalone article, I also agree with Owenx here that given the merge will likely be a simple addition of six words in parenthesis as they proposed, the sourcing is adequate for that purpose.

 * Merge with Economic equilibrium: the term is used in economics for more than just what Investopedia mentions. By itself, this is just an unsourced DICDEF. Owen&times; &#9742;  23:19, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment Investopedia is not a reliable source for folk who are driving-by. It is Non-RS. Its not been for a long time. It would need additional valid secondary sources if it was merged.    scope_creep Talk  05:14, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed, which is why I referred to it as an "unsourced DICDEF". The term is widely used in economics academic literature, which means primary sources are plentiful. A parenthesized comment in Economic equilibrium along the lines of, ...(also known as the "sweet spot")... doesn't require more than a single well-cited primary source to support it.
