I can't figure out what is the point of this article. Lots of numbers, but little or no analysis of what they are supposed to represent.  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 18:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment. The deleting administrator may also want to add in Domestic Well-Being Accounting (DWBA) which is apparently meant to be a companion piece with all the same problems as noted below. It currently has a PROD tag but I suggest WP:SNOWBALL would be worth invoking. Accounting4Taste:talk 19:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment The PROD tag was removed without addressing any of the relevant issues; I've nominated it for deletion using an AfD process. It should also be noted that the single self-generated reference for this concept is self-published, thereby conferring no notability. Accounting4Taste:talk 15:32, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Looks to me like self-promotion. No sources other than the author's own book, no assertion or presence of notability and, as noted by the nominator, not enough context to tell what's being discussed. And the pretty graphs are probably WP:COPYVIO. Accounting4Taste:talk 18:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
  • (EC) Delete Just a bunch of charts with no context. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per all above, except that it might not be a copyright violation since the uploader may be the author. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:25, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment An examination of the article creator's userpage reveals that he is indeed the author creating articles of his own work. Accounting4Taste:talk 19:15, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. This article was already speedy deleted, today at 17:25 by user RHaworth, and has been recreated exactly like the old copy. --Dmol (talk) 18:35, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:NOT#WEBSPACE. Doc StrangeMailboxLogbook 19:25, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

As the author, the purpose of this article was to support another article Domestic Well-Being Accounting (DWBA) so that the samples could be examined by a reader, in parallel with the main article. I accept that it would be equally feasible for a reader to open two parallel copies of the main article where the included samples could then be examined in conjunction with the main body. I therefore concur with the proposed deletion and will combine the samples with the main article; there are of course other issues I have to address in respect of the main articlc which I am currently working on.
