Contested redirect - no indications of notability or separate importance. No need for a separate article - content can be incorporated into Joan Robinson. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:15, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: I think this is a fairly well known model. Like Kaldor's growth model, this used to be a standard topic in courses on economic growth. It is covered in many textbooks and academic articles eg: Joan Robinson's Theory of Economic Growth by Ludo Cuyvers Science & Society,Vol. 43, No. 3, Contemporary Issues in Marxist Political Economy (Fall, 1979), pp. 326-348 or James Tobin, 1990. "Growth and Distribution: A Neoclassical Kaldor-Robinson Exercise," Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers 934, Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics, Yale University.(Msrasnw (talk) 19:59, 10 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]

- merge to the author. If there is no more specific term than this, it would not be an appropriate separate article. If there are actually suficient sources, the alternative to this would be an article on her book. DGG ( talk ) 02:42, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- comment. The title is a little odd - but there is some justification for this when looks at some of the sources. The origins of the model are to be found in
- * Robinson, Joan (1956) The Accumulation of Capital London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd. AND
- * Robinson, Joan (1963) Essays in the Theory of Economic Growth London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd.
- I think this would make it not so obvious which book article to make and have this in - though this would be possible. Also I think the model might unbalance the biographical article on her so merging it there might be not so good.
- Articles which talk explicitily about this mode include:
- * Cuyvers, Ludo, (1979) Joan Robinson's Theory of Economic Growth, Science and Society, 43:3, Fall, p.326
- * Gandolfo, G. (1967) Some critical remarks on Joan Robinson’s growth model. Rivista di Politica Economica v.57, February.
- * Tobin, James, (1989) "Growth and Distribution: A Neoclassical Kaldor-Robinson Exercise," Cambridge Journal of Economics, Oxford University Press, vol. 13(1), pages 37-45, March.
- And a synthesised summary of the model here: D. Hamberg, D. (1963) Essays in the Theory of Economic Growth by Joan Robinson, The American Economic Review Vol. 53, No. 5, Dec., pp. 1109-1114. This might be a very useful source for expanding and clarrifying the topic.
- Also I recall seeing textbook versions when I studied this and it is on the syllabus of some courses under this title. I would prefer renaming it to Robinson's growth model but thought to wait until after the afd. (Msrasnw (talk) 11:35, 12 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]

- Keep, rename to Robinson's growth model per sources found by Msrasnw. -- 202.124.72.149 (talk) 11:47, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Per reliable sources searched for by Msrasnw stated above. Merging the data to the Joan Robinson article may be appropriate. Northamerica1000 (talk) 04:43, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Msrasnw and sources existing. "Robinson's growth model" gets more results in Google book search. If that's what its officially called, then change the article's name to that. Dream Focus 12:35, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge: I believe DGG is correct. Drmies (talk) 17:12, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: The article's a part of the Indian Education Program for SSE, it will be completed by mid-october by Naresh Limbu or myself. It's a definite deadline. So the decision to delete the article should at least be postponed till then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PJote (talk • contribs) 21:21, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If this article is part of an educational project then it should be hosted on that project's web site. This is an encyclopedia. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:29, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Phil, you'd be surprised how many people don't seem to realize that. Drmies (talk) 22:07, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Phil, the Indian Education Program is a part of Wikipedia. The point of the project is to have students make contributions TO Wikipedia. I didn't link it properly. There. You can see it now. PJote (talk) 06:29, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Msrasnw and the reliable sources that he stated.--Slon02 (talk) 01:22, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
