Work 4.0

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A non-notable neologism from a government report; I don't think the government report is notable either. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 19:28, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 * As described in the article, "Work 4.0" is THE concept under which any discussion about the future of work and how to adapt to it takes place in Germany and, to a lesser degree, within the European Union. There are literally hundreds of conferences and scholarly articles referencing that concept as part of their headlines, especially its German version "Arbeit 4.0". Moreover, the concept has also been picked up by large parts of the German press (Handelsblatt, ZEIT, FAZ, etc.) and parts of the European press (e.g. EURACTIV). The report itself is the key strategic document of the Ministry of Labour of the largest European economy and is likely to frame its policy way beyond 2020. Though I agree that it could and should be substantiated further, I hope that you will reconsider your opinion about the notability of this article. --Arbraxan (talk) 06:27, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. Hmmm. Neologism, but has few sources. It's a bit hard to look four sources since the name is generic, but I found 5 pages of academic discussion in English here: . Search for the German phrase "Arbeiten 4.0" produces many more results, but I don't read German. That includes a number of academic papers like that on surface at least appear to give this topic sufficient coverage to make it notable. Since I don't read German, I am only saying week keep, but AGF this seems like a notable concept. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  08:59, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per Arbraxan and Piotrus. I know a little German but nowhere near fluency, I do at least know "Arbeit" means "work", I spend about a month in Austria every year and they speak German. Anyway, Arbraxan has some pretty convincing arguments but like Piotrus I do think this needs to be documented a bit better with more references but ultimately if we are talking "literally hundreds of conferences and scholarly articles referencing that concept as part of their headlines" as Arbraxan said (assuming it is true since I assume good faith), that is by definition notable, even if it is in German as Arbeit 4.0, and I can assure fellow English-speakers that Work 4.0 is the correct article name.
