weak tie
article is no more than a paragraph of original research based loosely on a phrase extracted from an obscure sociology essay Apollo58 21:14, 28 May 2006 (UTC) yes, i say delete too. the author spammed me to get me to come see it.
 * Delete Sounds like a perfectly good sociological analytical tool, but not one that is yet notable. Bejnar 22:40, 28 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't Delete i totally disagree -- the concept is pretty useful in sociology (explaining political campaign success, business performance, success in finding jobs) and also to explain the logic and varying performance of social networks (LinkedIn tried to be a strong tie network, but it is a network of weak ties, therein lies its success)


 * Don't Delete I disagree as well. The concept of a weak social tie seems logical and tangible to me. The article on the weak social tie should be expanded instead of deleted. I would prefer one paragraph to no information at all.  Anatoly IVANOV.
 * Delete. Summary: A weak tie is a tie that is not strong. Apologies for being blunt, but anyone to whom that is not obvious will not be reading about it in an encyclopaedia. Stifle (talk) 22:19, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete, on the basis of no content. It says weak ties aren't strong ties... but beyond that there is nothing.  I don't know if the concept is notable but right now the article says nothing about the concept. gren グレン 11:03, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
