Economics superstition[edit]

I can almost understand what the author is trying to say, but not quite. "Economics is related to human life.It is expected to be a science with logic. But many times human behaviour is not based on proved logics . Groups of people or individual do have various superstitions ..." Etcetera. I'm not sure this qualifies as patent nonsense, so I'm listing it here instead of tagging it CSD. --Plek 11:57, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, the contributor has misunderstood the purpose of wikipedia. This article is original research with no references, and wikipedia articles are not discussion forums. Kappa 12:22, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Incoherent nonsense. jni 06:53, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Confused original research. Jayjg (talk) 20:48, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. Economic superstitions exist, they are part of behavioral economics, and they deserve their own article, even if this one doesn't seem really to tackle economic superstitions, which is an everyday thing for consumers, investors, produceres, etc, but superstitions related to the choice between econonomic theories. --Pgreenfinch 08:03, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete -- the final graf is just an invitation to editorializing. The grafs prior to that are unept summaries of behavioral economics, which already has an article. --Christofurio 13:51, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Shift & link to behavioral economics, Currently behavioral economicspage's shows link for individual biases & social biases but does not have a created page yet for the same.
