The Big Five Aspects Scale

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is a rehash of Big Five personality traits, and it's supposed to represent a scale of the results of how one scores on the Big five personality traits. It doesn't have GNG on its own, and it's a useless fork. 1l2l3k (talk) 23:53, 8 December 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete or Userfy if requested. Bit messy all this. The page was created by a student in this course, which ends this week. Article appears to be mistitled, be duplicative but lesser in scope, have sourcing issues (123test dot com as the major source?), and not actually get as far as dealing with the BFAS, so merge/redirect is inappropriate. The intended page allocated to 3 students was the existing stub Big Five Aspect Scales. Only one has made an edit so far, that didn't provide significant expansion, and the article is so slight in its current form that it should instead probably be redirected with possible brief merge to Big Five personality traits unless improved. The BFAS is covered implicitly in the final para of Big Five personality traits, but red flag for both location and content as it states each of the Big Five personality traits contain two aspects, whereas that appears to actually be part of the BFAS extension. GScholar lists the main paper for the BFAS as being cited 1018 times so that's evidence for some level of impact, but indepth coverage of the BFAS in books visible online appears minimal.

 * Thanks for the ping. I'd userfy it if I thought there was something here they could merge to the Big Five personality traits article, but honestly I don't. I'll make a copy and share it with the instructor, so there's still something for them to grade. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:25, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, "a rehash of Big Five personality traits" is correct. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 03:47, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. I initially thought redirect in case this title had some usage, but Hydronium~Hydroxide outlined pretty well by outright deletion is the better option here for redundant content. Kingofaces43 (talk) 23:29, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per Hydronium~Hydroxide, but I also support Ian's suggestion of sharing a copy with the teacher. If need be, the closing admin should feel free to userfy this into my userspace, and I will keep it for a while until after the course is over. --DannyS712 (talk) 04:40, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
