This essay consists mostly of meaningless jargon-laden marketing talk with the lingering odor of promotion. The sources are either dead links, wild goose chases, or serve only to synthesise the topic from sources not actually about it. This was proposed for deletion a month ago and since then neither I nor anyone else has been able to find sources from which to build a credible article. Reyk _YO! 11:06, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I have circled back to this topic. However I still cannot decide on the notability of the subject. Lightburst (talk) 18:38, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - only glancing mentions in the sources; several sources don't even mention the topic. A redirect to Proactive law is a cheap way out if you're not sure. Bearian (talk) 20:09, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Proactive law#Proactive_Law_in_a_Business_Context. I have completely rewritten the article, transforming into a referenced stub. There are sources out there, and in the article, that convinces me this is a real movement in contract law. I don't know if it rises to the level of GNG, but in any case, the stub content is verifiable and I think this stub is better merged into Proactive law, as proactive law and proactive contracting are quite tightly linked. With verifiable material and a good target article, merge is preferred over deletion per our policy WP:ATD. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 20:32, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
