Idea economy

[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article is incoherent. It only has 2 references, one to a NYT article on patent trolling and another to a conference called "Ideas Economy". From the references I don't think Idea or Ideas Economy is an actual term rather just the name of an article and the name of a conference Bhny (talk) 07:28, 6 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

delete per WP:NEOLOGISM. Articles of this type can probably be developed with a few spotty sources that mention "ideas" and "economics", but we're trying to write articles about established knowledge, not summaries of opinion pieces and how some hot jargon is used and misused. Go ahead and redirect this to an article about economics if someone finds a suitable target. Vcessayist (talk) 00:30, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
