This is not some prominent stand-alone subjects. If there is anything of note here, it can be added to the Empire or Imperialism article. Currently, there's not a single source for anything in this article. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 13:25, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, delete. I'll admit there might be a whole literature (or two, in history and sociology), but currently this article is just a very complicated way of describing a couple of unrelated and very simple concepts. It's currently an essay, sort of stuck half way between a dictionary and a disambiguation page, but lacks the clarity of a dictionary and doesn't point anywhere useful as a disambiguation.

Redirect - I suspect someone has tried to create an article about the Western workplace politics idiom associated with consolidating power in professional contexts. Misunderstanding the subject, others have tacked-on all manner of things associated with historical imperialism and empire, though they have very little to do with the subject. It might be possible to develop a well-sourced article about the workplace politics phenomenon, but this isn't it. I'd suggest a redirect to workplace politics until then.

Delete: per WP:TNT, article is in remarkably poor shape. If there is a notable topic here (which I'm not convinced of), it can be recreated -- Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 22:43, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
