[Cz-editcouncil] Article deletion question

[Larry Sanger]

Dear Editorial Council members,

I'm going to try to have something like a kick-off mail in your box this
evening, but I wanted to get your input on something in the meantime.

We have a shortage of active Economics editors.  I asked several who are
involved to comment on this article, which struck me as being quite biased:

http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Binary_economics

And we got a comment back, here:

http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Talk:Binary_economics#Editorial_Opinion

The opinion seems to me to entail that we should delete the article.  In
particular, two items:

(1) This comment is most important: "I do not think the current entry can be
revised to make a suitable entry for Citizendium."

(2) The article "reads as promotional literature."

Our rules at present state (see
http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Article_Deletion_Policy) that the first
two comments in particular are grounds for an *editor* to make a decision to
delete an article outright.

So I would like to ask your opinion about a question of *process* here:
should we, in the absence of any other active economics editor weighing in
on the matter, rely on the opinion of a single editor to delete an article
on the above grounds?
