Trade diversion

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article has never, as far as I can see, had any reliable independent sources. Actually it only ever seems to have had one reference that even attempted to be a proper source, and that turned out to be on Beall's list of predatory open access publishers. Guy (Help!) 08:14, 21 November (UTC)


 * Delete: There could be more flaws pointed out in this article but really the fact that there were no sources is enough to be deleted. Wikipedia needs to be strict with this kind of thing to maintain credibility.Grapefruit17 (talk) 23:49, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment, from WP:CONTN - "Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article.", also WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP, this is definitely an economic concept that is covered in/by numerous publications/organisations, see Preferential Trade Agreements, Trade Creation and Trade Diversion, "The terms trade creation and trade diversion are closely associated with Chicago School economist Jacob Viner (The Customs Union Issue, 1950)." from Trade Creation, Trade Diversion and Trade Creation, Migration, Spillovers,and Trade Diversion: The Impact of Internationalization on Stock Market Liquidity, Trade Creation and Trade Diversion in the Canada - United States Free Trade Agreement etc, etc, etc. Coolabahapple (talk) 02:47, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep notable economic term, I've added some references. There is also trade creation as noted by Coolabahapple. However, I've tagged this to be merged into this article - as it makes sense to explain the related concepts in one place.Jonpatterns (talk) 11:29, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. The sources given by Coolabahapple and in the article show that the term is notable. Gulumeemee (talk) 09:54, 9 December 2017 (UTC)
