[edit] Creative production

Wikified dicdef. Has shown no growth since August 31, 2002. --Allen3 ^talk 13:54, May 5, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand. It's just a sub-stub; give the article a chance! Bratsche^{talk random} 20:27, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems harmless. Mirror Vax 12:23, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
• It has had its chance, for over two years. Neither of the "Keep" voices above has bothered to expand it beyond the very feeble Creative production is the production of things that are called, loosely speaking, art or literature, which (i) either says nothing about (say) music or uses "art" perversely to include music but not lit, and (ii) doesn't distinguish between (a) writing lit and (b) the publishing industry. Et cetera. I'm watching the article and thus invite anyone to persuade me to change my mind from delete. -- Hoary 04:40, 2005 May 7 (UTC)
• keep you can improve it too hoary not just us. Yuckfoo 20:49, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Oh, sure, if I put thirty minutes into it I might be able to come up with a justification for its existence, whereupon I'd also scrabble together something to say about it. Meanwhile, you are implying that it is worthwhile. OK, show it: do something to the article. Meanwhile, I'm watching this page; I'm fully open to the idea of changing my vote, just as I've changed it in the past (even for at least one VfD that I nominated in the first place). -- Hoary 00:13, 2005 May 9 (UTC)
• Delete. Last time I checked, we were trying to build an encyclopedia for readers, not just our own amusement. I think it's highly unlikely that anyone would actually look this term up looking for info on "how creative things like art and music and literature are created and why." Any NPOV info that could actually exist should be in a parent article about the art form. Soundguy99 01:41, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, dicdef. Replace with Redirect to Production or Creativity. Radiant_* 09:39, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - not even up to the standards of a dicdef - Tεxτurε 15:55, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
