Reads more like an essay, sources are primary. Seems redundant to existing articles. If this is indeed a notable topic, it'd be better to start from scratch. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 21:42, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete Useful information? Yes. But content-wise and style-wise it's more like a government pamphlet than an encyclopedia article, especially given it's probably short-term relevance. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 21:55, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Absolutely an inclusion-worthy topic. Article is flagged for lack of a lead and somebody needs to write one immediately. Certainly an article which can and should be improved, but that's not reason to haul this here for deletion. Not an unwikified and unsourced original essay, which is what we should be on guard for. Needs work but a reasonably good early effort at writing economic history with contemporary importance. Carrite (talk) 15:30, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - needs work. Tangurena (talk) 21:18, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
