• Weak Keep I wanted to refer to an article on automous work groups. I understood it to be a business/industry concept in regular use in the 1980s-1990s. Apart from hearing the name quite a few times I've no knowledge of the term. I created a stub but someone else asked to delete, so I thought I'd put it up for debate

PS. I've used a different version of the AfD template:AfDU --Mike 14:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• • Uncle G has added a lot more to the entry, so I'm now changing my vote, I think it is reasonable to expect an entry under this heading so I'm changing from a weak keep to definite keep!

• • Comment - Some of the folks in my office were involved with companies using autonomous work groups during the 90s. However, from their descriptions, I am not sure that we need anything more than a dictionary definition to wholly cover the topic. Since I was still in middle school when the business practice went by the wayside, I abstain from voting and defer to my elders. :) -bobby 15:11, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Strong Keep - This is a real concept. The article needs some cleanup, i will see what I can do. I have studied this concept in classes. It is fascinating, and if i knew nothing about it and wanted some information on it, i would def come to Wikipedia. Losing this article would be a loss to wikipedia.
