Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Economics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Economics. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Economics|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Economics. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Economics

[edit]
Donald Trump's Liberation Day speech (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Speech itself is not notable—hence, not specifically mentioned by any of the sources—and no claim of significance is made here. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 23:57, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep and Soft Rename: This is definitely notable (and will most likely become more notable with time). I wouldn't be against changing the name to be something along the lines of "Donald Trump's Liberation Day Tariffs" and have it be a bit more all encompassingly about this round of tariffs and the speech.

does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for biographies. The article lacks significant independent coverage from reliable sources that establish notability beyond his public role. Most references are links to Patrick's op-eds and do not reflect his activities or significance Hka-34 Jyli (talk) 06:45, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bangladeshi 10-taka note (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

My reason:

  • According to Wikipedia's rules, to create a separate article on a subject, its notability must be proven with reliable secondary sources. But this article lacks any independent, secondary sources to establish the notability of the Bangladeshi 10-taka note. Currently, only two primary sources (Numista and the Bangladesh Bank website) have been used. However, these only provide information about the note’s design and history. There is no independent research or newspaper analysis on this topic. As a result, it is not particularly notable. A brief mention of this information in the Bangladeshi taka article is sufficient.
  • The article is purely based on the content of the two websites. There is no original analysis or secondary source. It is nothing but a compilation of primary source information, which is a blatant violation of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. The article is nothing but a compilation of facts and lacks any analysis or relevance.
  • Above all, a separate article on a specific currency note should be prepared only if the note is indeed unique and requires in-depth information. But the information on the 10-taka note is so limited that it can be included as a short section in the article of Bangladeshi taka. For example, there are no separate articles on the currency notes of the majority of countries because they are not of particular significance.

Accordingly, I request that this article be removed on the grounds of WP:NOTABILITY, WP:COPYVIO, WP:NOR, and WP:SPINOUT.

  • I have seen some sources about the subject not included on the article. And if we search in historical newspapers then maybe it will be possible to add more content to the article. I will say keep Delete per nom. Mehedi Abedin 17:59, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've changed the reason. Please reconsider. 20:36, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
What do you mean? According to Copyvio tool, it only violated 17.4% and all of them are from using repeated parts "Portrait of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the Father of the Nation" (5 times) and "Bangladesh Bank's logo and '10 taka' in Bengali text" (1 time). It could be copyedited, not a serious copyright issues. Mehedi Abedin 00:02, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No reviews to pass WP:NBOOK. Quotes so extensively from the book I am fairly certain it is a copyright issue at this point. Redirect to author Hans-Hermann Hoppe? PARAKANYAA (talk) 07:02, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment In response to the proposal as a redirect, a Google Books search of "Economy Society & History" (specifically using an ampersand) turns up texts like "Navigating History: Economy, Society, Knowledge, and Nature" (2018), "The Medieval Economy and Society: An Economic History of Britain, 1100-1500" (1973) and "War, Economy and Society, 1939-1945" (1979). There's nothing on the first three pages of the search related to Hoppe. A general Google search unsurprisingly turns up Wikipedia first, the MISES website and Amazon, but the next hits are Weber's Economy and Society and peer review journal called Society & Economy. I don't think there's strong enough reason to assume that Hoppe is the most appropriate target (WP:RPURPOSE); the text appears very minor at best. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 22:39, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    i would still support a redirect (though due to content issues it should be deleted first) because AFAIK there is no other published work with this name - a similar name, but not the same exact one. The term is vague but this is still the only thing with this specific title. That the phrase is generic does not counteract that PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:18, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Pure deletion not a hill I need to die on. :) Fair suggestion about delete then redirect. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 23:54, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment pertaining to WP:NBOOK, per WP:NBOOK a main criteria in support of the Keep !votes and arguments here is number 5 which can be quoted as "The book's author is so historically significant that any of the author's written works may be considered notable. This does not simply mean that the book's author is notable by Wikipedia's standards; rather, the book's author is exceptionally significant, and the author's life and body of written work would be a common subject of academic study." Hans Herman Hoppe is a highly notable author, though controversial, in the overall right wing and far-right economic body of thought. With that being the case, this article, even in stub form, does qualify for notability under the WP:NBOOK guidelines and should be kept. If over time it could be further added to, or if the removed quotes could be partially restored with care to ensure proper weight and attribution, then that is another matter, but notability is adequately met as is per WP:NBOOK. Iljhgtn (talk) 21:58, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That criterion is not for highly notable people it’s for people so extensively studied that studying their works is a discipline of its own. Merely being controversial is not anywhere close to that - think Philip K. Dick or H G Wells. PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:20, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This author does not come anywhere close to meeting that criteria. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 20:17, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hans-Hermann Hoppe is not just controversial, he is the man who defines the very space of monarchistic far-right libertarian thinking. To think that he doesn't meet the criteria might be the most absurd thing I've read today, and I've read a lot today. Iljhgtn (talk) 03:01, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators and Economics. Sabirkir (talk) 11:18, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Two items with pretty good citation levels is below what I'm generally looking for in WP:NPROF. University-wide teaching awards do not contribute here. On the other hand, one book tends to fall under WP:BLP1E so far as WP:NAUTHOR goes; I did not anyway find reviews on a cursory search. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:13, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Authors, Indiana, and Michigan. WCQuidditch 18:18, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. For someone at this level of seniority, two well-cited publications (one a textbook) with the rest falling off steeply is below the bar for WP:PROF#C1, and nothing else in the article looks to contribute to notability. I did find one published review of the book, and hints that there might have been another by Garman in [16] (from which any book reviews are now missing), but even if I could find the second review it wouldn't be enough for WP:AUTHOR. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:46, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. To my mind a notable econometrician. His founding of/chairing of the Midwest Econometrics Group (MEG) is I think very notable within the US academic econometrics community and his role as the guest editor for a special edition of a highly prestigious econometrics journal - the Journal of Econometrics is important, as his work on Splines in ecmetrics via his book and papers ... and these seem to me together sufficient for notability. His published academic work in econometrics is very wide ranging....and I have used some if it in different contexts.... His later post-retirement books and media / opinion piece work seem to me less notable (but my bias is towards the academic side) and I don't know how notable his work as an independent Midwest Voices columnist on the Kansas City Star online edition might be from a journalistic point of view. (Msrasnw (talk) 07:56, 19 March 2025 (UTC))[reply]
  • Keep The article has been expanded since its creation. The contributions made by Msrasnw, consisting of valuable content including his publications, serve to further establish the notability of the subject. Gedaali (talk) 08:22, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Gedaali: perhaps you could explain which notability criterion is satisfied by providing a listing of publications? Do you think every academic for whom we could list publications is notable? —David Eppstein (talk) 23:59, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While he has (as mentioned above) a couple of well cited papers, the dropoff is fast and the total number of citations at 1359 is weak. His own page does not indicate anything notable except some prior students; notability is not inheritable from his prior students. I don't see indications that his book(s) have had an impact.

  • Draftify The only type of sources I can find was this one here [1] and it is a book that he wrote. It seems like it's sort of notable for someone to write a book and have other sourcing. But, thoroughly scanning Google I could not find any other sort of citations besides that one. I would just draftify this until better sourcing is needed.
