Illicit Networks in an Age of Globalization

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article appears to be an essay paper, and google searches for the topic show that there is much similarity between this and the PDFs in the results. This is WP:OR, and not presented in an encyclopedic manner. There's no typical intro, every section is a hyperlink, and no indication why this topic is important. In short, this is an essay and should be deleted. — Timneu22 · talk 12:21, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, even if the article could be sourced, wikified and so on it would only be suitable for merging with, say, organized crime. Right now there's nothing to merge, nothing to keep, no sources. Huon (talk) 14:20, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, agree with all above, and this text tiptoes around what it means by "illicit networks". It's June now, so the Age of Globalization is over anyways; we're now in the Second Pre-Cambrian Era. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
