Actual resource[edit]

a dictionary definition. May have some currency as a term in Economics, but none that I can see as worthy of a stand-alone article. As always, more than happy to be proved wrong. Shirt58 (talk) 13:33, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I had a brief and small go at trying to prove you wrong when this was first listed, but failed to find any economics text that defined such a concept as claimed here. All that I could find were the normal usages of the adjectives "actual" and "potential" applied to the concept of a natural resource. Uncle G (talk) 19:38, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Like Uncle G above (who didn't provide a comment summary, but can probably be counted as a Delete !vote), a fairly superficial search found nothing beyond the use of "actual resource" in a non-technical sense, e.g. "...actual resource prices are a result of..." (where "actual" modifies "prices"), that sort of thing. Anyway, the current article itself is really not sufficient to constitute a proper article. No prejudice against re-creation if real references can be provided. Herostratus (talk) 00:04, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
