Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Design methods
"...holistic solutions to improve the lives of people...", reads like a promotion for a fringe cult. Only contributor is User:Design methods; this was originally a user page, but it doesn't fit there either. Delete Owen× ☎ 18:05, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep certainly suffers from POV and some inappropriate content, such as the contact me part, but the concept that there is an art/science to design and hence methods is certainly appropriate. Since this primarily focuses on the work of John Christopher Jones it may be more appropriate to move it an article of that name and reorg it to be more consistent with standards J E Bailey 18:19, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep'. This document is about design methods and starts with John Christopher Jones. It should not be deleted as it is an important topic of discussion. It is not "cult" or "partisan", but is a valid area to articulate. As for the e-mail, I have taken it down as it seems as if it is culturally not in keeping with Wikipedia User:design_methods
- Keep. Editor is very new to Wikipedia; article needs some work but is not deletion material. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 23:52, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Design methods is a unique addition to Wikipedia. Not only does it establish a visible place for this important and evolving topic, it also contributes to the growing thought and demonstration of design as a critical discipline in developing meaningful products and services. Business concepts such as "innovation fulcrum" and "product life-cycle management" directly connect to the use of Design methods by current companies for both competitive advantage and human capital. And this practice is becoming more pervasive as the forces of economy and empathy converge. Design methods is completely relevant to the present-day realities of our consumer-driven environment.

- The above is user's first edit ever. Owen× ☎ 00:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - this article is very misleading - it is at best an essay on a particular interpretation of design methods in the Western world. I might even suggest that we merge relevant portions of the article into others, but I lack the time to do so. Although generally well written, it is subtlely promoting a particular group formed in 1962. If the content is kept, it should be renamed to something appropriate which specifically highlights this. --HappyCamper 01:12, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
