Virtual workplaces

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This survived a previous no-consensus AfD ~2 years ago. There's no question the term exists. A search turns up places that identify as/have virtual workplaces but no evidence there is any encyclopedic material from which to build an article. The current article has issues, namely OR, SYNTH and ESSAY, but that could be fixed if there were material to build an article. TravellingCari 16:14, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination: essayish and unencyclopedic. Sentences that begin with introductory phrases like With information technology playing a greater role in the daily operations of organizations today. . . are reliable harbingers of bollocks to follow. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:21, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep The premise of the nomination is false as there are substantial books on the subject. Colonel Warden (talk) 16:57, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - the concept is notable even if the article does need improvement. Note that according to naming conventions, the article should be named Virtual workplace. -- Whpq (talk) 18:07, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
