[edit] Format Proliferation

Format Proliferation (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Appears to be an article about a neologism and may contain original research (probable presentation of a specific theory in business) or does not have enough available information for more than a dictionary entry without crossing into spam or advertisement. Also including SKU Proliferation in this discussion. Cquan (don't yell at me...) 16:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep for now. The term and concept seem common enough from a quick Google search, and the article had only just been created when it was given the AFD tag. I think it should be allowed a little more time to develop. Propaniac 15:35, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete both These are the only two contributions by the author, suggesting a conflict of interest. (Yes, there can be a profit motive in promoting this idea of Format Proliferation.) Also, it strikes me as original research. One source is not enough. YechielMan 14:51, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
