[edit] Political efficacy

578 marked this vfd on March 14, but never made a subpage or listed it on vfd. I'm just bringing it here for resolution; do not consider this a vote. —Korath (Talk) 03:28, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Dicdef. Wiktionary already has an entry for Efficacy so I don't think a transwiki would be useful. Dave the Red (talk) 06:52, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • I've rewritten and expanded this, although it's still a crappy stub. Strongest possible keep--this is a very notable concept in political science, and a lot of research has been done on it. I'm not really up on it, and I've got enough term papers to do as is, but there could be a very legitimate article on this concept. Meelar (talk) 19:03, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • I like the rewrite, but wouldn't it help to merge it into context? Radiant_* 08:42, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, for one thing, it's a fairly distinct topic; I wouldn't be sure quite where to merge it. Also, I can really do a much better job than this once I have some more time to hack this out. If you'd like, I could move it to my user space until I get a non-stub version, but this should be useful as a placeholder. Meelar (talk) 19:38, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
      • Oh, no, that's not what I meant. I simply felt that, unless expanded (which you just promised to do anyway) this would be rather short for an article. Improving it would be great, and it's certainly something that belongs in mainspace. Radiant_* 09:08, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and allow for organic growth. Encyclopedic topic. Klonimus 16:10, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • 'SUPER KEEP. Very valid topic. Neutralitytalk 04:01, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
