*'''Keep'''. There is quite a lot of work on the issue, in both journals and books, and is the area within Objectivism in which Douglas Rasmussen specialises. ''The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies'' (yes, it exists) covers this issue repeatedly, both in passing and in dedication. ''The Philosophic Thought of Ayn Rand'' dedicates a chapter to 'Life and the Theory of Value' from the Objectivist viewpoint. And so on. [[User:Bastin8/Signature|Bastin]] 09:51, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
::Do you have anymore sources as to the term "theory of value" as found in works on Rand or Objectivists? It might be appropriate to rename this article to "Theory of Value (Objectivism)" instead. [[User:Mister.Manticore|Mister.Manticore]] 15:48, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
:::The term is used frequently throughout Objectivist literature, both by Rand (''[http://www.amazon.com/Virtue-Selfishness-Ayn-Rand/dp/0451163931 Virtue of Selfishness]'') and by others (''[http://www.amazon.com/Reason-Value-Aristotle-versus-Rand/dp/1577240456 Reason and Value]''). In online sources, you can see its use less commonly, but it is used in (for example) [http://www.libertarian.co.uk/lapubs/philn/philn025.pdf this paper published by the Libertarian Alliance], [http://www.atlassociety.org/GS07syl3.pdf this Atlas Society seminar].
:::It should be titled as it currently is; it isn't a concept unique to Objectivism, but an Objectivist theory of the concept analagous to other theories (see [[Subjective theory of value]], [[Intrinsic theory of value]], etc). [[User:Bastin8/Signature|Bastin]] 10:23, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
