The Choice Lab

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable research group. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:05, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, I think it meets WP:NSCHOOL. Research group in a notable university, involved in international research activities (see and ), which has published multiple peer reviewed papers (here is one, not hard to find others) and has received 3rd party coverage, though I'll note that coverage is somewhat sparse. See  and . Much of the article was blanked as unreferenced before this AfD was submitted, see history.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xpctr8 (talk • contribs) 13:39, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep I agree, it appears to meet WP:NSCHOOL. I've unblanked the article, it shouldn't have been blanked immediately prior to a deletion discussion.  XeroxKleenex (talk) 06:25, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Norwegian School of Economics. Not every research group, even at a major university, is notable, despite how important their research may be. It is true that members of this group have published multiple peer-reviewed papers. Again, that by itself is not a claim to notability. The group itself needs to be discussed in depth in independent reliable sources; as Xpctr8 notes the coverage is sparse. Xpctr8 points to coverage such as co-hosting the 2011 and the 2013 "Symposium on Economic Experiments in Developing Countries"; however, that is exactly the non-coverage that is decried at WP:ORG. WP:NSCHOOL is not applicable, Wikipedia has an article about the school, the Norwegian School of Economics.   --Bejnar (talk) 15:16, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

 * note to closing admin has made a spree of 23 identical keep as above !votes in 29 minutes. LibStar (talk) 12:22, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
 * , do you mean that you believe that it meets WP:NSCHOOL even though the school is the Norwegian School of Economics? or can you point to multiple reliable independent sources that cover it in depth? --Bejnar (talk) 22:49, 17 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment I think it also meets WP:GNG based on (article), (release from a different academic organization), and (article).  XeroxKleenex (talk) 16:00, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * The first citation listed is a dead link. The second and third do cover the lab, but not enough to meet WP:GNG.  The proper article for a school's programmes is the school's article. --Bejnar (talk) 21:54, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
