:::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].

::::The noteworthiness of the phrase "Objectivitst theory of values" is the issue here. Neither of the on-line articles you cite uses that exact phrase. I'm unable to verify the other sources. The phrase [[objectivist ethics]] is used; and there is a reference to "objectivist theory of value and life", once. But for proof of notability what is needed is a reference in a secondary, or better, a tertiary source - see [[Wikipedia:Notability]]"''A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.''

:::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)
