Organization design

Was orginally nominated for deletion, but nobody declared anything; relisting. User:SP-KP stated: I'm not entirely sure what this article [meaning Corporate_strategy_development_method, Sandstein] is about (I'm not even entirely sure I think it's an AFD candidate). However, it's at least in need of some contextualisation. Any views? SP-KP 22:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC) No vote. Kilo-Lima|^(talk) 14:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

• This article is part of a problem being discussed at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Method Engineering Encyclopedia. The article qualifies for deletion as unencyclopedic and instructive original research, but because a transwiki is apparently in the works, perhaps it should be moved out of the main namespace so it can be transwikied later. –Sommers ^(Talk) 14:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. This topic is the subject of numerous books in the business section at any major bookstore. george 15:42, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
  • That doesn't mean that the article itself is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Currently, it violates Wikipedia:No original research and is instructive essay rather than informative encyclopedia article. –Sommers ^(Talk) 17:14, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete: seems like OR. If the Method Engineering team wants to publish their work online, perhaps they should look into Wikibooks or Wikiversity. --Hetar 07:08, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete or move The topic is in my opinion of increasing importance. However, the article seems like marketing for a particular research approach. It does not reference the most frequently cited book on the topic (i.e., Thompson, 1967). They discuss the issue of "design rules" without citing the author (e.g., Georges Romme).
• Delete, Wikipedia is not a free web host. Stifle (talk) 00:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
