The following discussions are requested to have community-wide attention:

Should the article contain link to the Silk Road website? Please see the above discussion for some context. ⇌ Jake Wartenberg 22:19, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:PIGS (economics)

I've boldly dynamited the article for reasons outlined above, specifically:

The article suffered endemically from issues described at WP:NEOLOGISM: it relied on "editor's personal observations and research (e.g. finding blogs, books, and articles that use the term rather than are about the term)".
A great number (majority?) of cited statements were unsupported by the reference given. It appears that, over time, statements were changed to read something (completely) different but original citations were left in place. In some cases, it appears that existing citations were moved around inside the article to "support" newly added or rewritten statements, regardless of whether the citation supported the new/rewritten statement or not.
There appears to have been citation fraud, with editors changing what cited sources say or (as I said above) citing references to "support" statements they did not support (in any way).

For these reasons I did not think the article was salvageable in its previous from and blew it up and started it again from scratch.

I expect that to be contentious (specifically from one editor), so I am inviting this RFC to comment on the dynamiting.

Diffs to the article: before dynamiting and after dynamiting.
