[edit] Open-lobbying

Open-lobbying (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Original research and wishful thinking. As well as being unsourced and a neologism. While there are efforts to make lobbying more transparent to the public, there isn't a generally accepted "open lobbying" methodology. And the article's premise that open lobbying is something that NGOs participate in contrast to corporations engaging in non-open lobbying seems to be entirely without evidence. The article is POV and un-savable in its current form. In case it's unclear, I'm in favor of deletion. Siobhan Hansa 04:32, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - nn neologism, 1070 non-wiki ghits. MER-C 08:23, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - "open lobbying" does not exist, and the single referenced example is incomplete (FFII has plenty of private lists, meetings, etc.) Gronky 15:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete POV and unverifable and a distraction from the development of the main lobbying page. Madmedea 10:25, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
