I've just started an article about the economic concept. Car salesman 14:12, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

  • I've tagged it for deletion, I'm no economist, but I think Supply and demand pretty much sums it up.
    • As we have an article on needs, I think it makes sense to have one on wants too. Car salesman 14:34, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
      • This article was helpful for me in figuring out exactly what "wants" are. It's a solid (and key) economic concept, and it's important that there be a page for it. Not sure about the depression bit though, that could probably come out. Steve. 67.34.232.127 19:39, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Admin: there's a few unneccessary redirs to this page, be sure to get those as well if you're considering a deletion. Obli (Talk) 14:23, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

  • If this article is deleted, then it should be turned back into the disambiguation page not speedied. Car salesman 14:33, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I disagree with the interpretation of the last quote. The intrepretation implies, "You always want what you don't have" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.83.207.133 (talk) 03:53, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
