This is a promotional article for Advanced Work Processing, a technique for which I can find almost no references except the publications of the Work Packaging Institute. Almost everything cited here is the work --see the adjacent AfD for Olfa Hamdi. DGG ( talk ) 22:33, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes the article needs more work, but what justifies deletion? Is your objection on "Work package, the project management technique" or "Advanced Work Packaging, the new technique that is an improved piece of Work package"?
- A simple Google Search shows:
- I'm sure there's much more, but I didn't have a chance yet to improve the article more. That's why I opened a discussion on the talkpage in case anybody had other thoughts.
- That is a credible enough topic to educate Wikipedia readers about it. ~ AdvertAdam talk 04:51, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Revert to this previous version of the article or (as a very close second preference) redirect to Work breakdown structure. I am rather less than thrilled to be reminded that one of the easiest (if usually unintentional) ways to get mediocre but not terrible content on a fairly (but not blindingly) certainly notable topic deleted from Wikipedia is to add clearly promotional material concerning a somewhat related product to the article and wait for one or other of our more experienced and war-bitten editors to wander by and try to oblige. In this case, an earlier not noticeably promotional stub version of the article does exist, and there is a probably clearer exposition in another article of the topic in its standard context. So either of the above solutions would be better than straight deletion of the article - though I would have little if any objection if the last six months' edits on the current article were WP:REVDELLED.

- Delete and Redirect to Work breakdown structure. PWilkinson's suggestion to revert to an older stub version is reasonable, but that leaves us with what is effectively a WP:DICDEF. As it's already discussed to a similar degree in the work breakdown structure article, that seems like a logical place to redirect. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:57, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, although redirect is not a bad idea. Looking at the history of this article, it began as an article about a workflow concept for project development (in 2008) and blossomed recently into an article with a clear promotional bent. Had it not taken that latter route it would possibly have lingered as a not-terribly-useful but innocuous article. As it is, it violates wp:promo but does not meet wp:corp.

- Delete as per nom and LaMona. At best, redirect. Onel5969 TT me 13:10, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
