Quoted, I get about 150 GHits for this. I see no evidence it's considered important beyond its original proponents. Guy (Help!) 17:27, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Sen's work in this area is highly influential, and I think is suitable as an article. I'd say that if it were deleted, a redirect could go to Capability approach, however, my understanding is that human development theory is a bit more broad. If the AfD is still open when I finish, I'll post an update when I've contributed a bit. Smmurphy^(Talk) 02:20, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@JzG:: I added a history section as an attempt to show how this article is different from the CA and the Human Development Index articles, as well as some more fixes. I'll do some copy editing, but let me know what you think/what could be better developed. Smmurphy^(Talk) 19:29, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - unless someone fixes this soon, right now it's a mess of little more than a mash-up of original research without any reliable online sources to verify it is notable. Bearian (talk) 14:26, 28 March 2017 (UTC) P.S. Smmurphy is on the right track, but I'd like to see more. Bearian (talk) 14:28, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
