[edit] Management Skills

Management Skills (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Appears to be the management philosophy of a "Robert L. Katz" who is described as a management expert. However there is no explanation as to why this person or his philosophy is notable. Doesn't appear to need to be covered by Wikipedia. WjBscribe 00:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

  • This appears to be an essay. Delete accordingly - we're not an essay repository. --Dennisthe2 00:32, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, is written as original research, and there is no evidence that Katz's philosophy is notable or widely applied. Trebor 01:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NOR, this is just a badly wikified essay. meshach 03:21, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Also, Management and its various sub-subjects (Senior management, etc.) cover management philosophy. The author (Ghulam Ali) added a link to his userpage at the bottom, but this user does not cite where s/he got Katz's ideas in the first place. Cedlaod 04:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. I'd hesitate to call this original research; what strikes me about most of these "management philosophies" is the blinding obviousness of their supposed insights. It's still an essay, and complete bollocks. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
    • You rock, dude. Of course you get extra points for the Borges ref. Keep up the good work. Wile E. Heresiarch 10:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. This sort of article should be put in a book called Management Skills for Dumbies (No Offense intended.) :^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 19:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I don't see any indication of WP:V verifiable sources (or any sources actually.) --PigmanTalk to me 19:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom and as original research. Inkpaduta 21:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Smerdis. Wile E. Heresiarch 10:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete can an admin close this AfD per WP:SNOWBALL? 22:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
