The result was keep. —Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 19:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see this getting much beyond being just a definition. SeizureDog 18:15, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Undecided - it could go much beyond a definition (summary of pros and cons of performance-related pay, how it relates to share options, use in public sector) but at the moment there's barely anything to delete! Blowski 18:22, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect? Merge? Maybe this could fit under piece work. There has been a pretty substantial history within that with relation to labour conflicts and unions. I'm not sure if the two topics necessarily belong together though. --Wafulz 18:31, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - lloks like a dicdef to me. -- Whpq 19:21, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Executive compensation. I have inserted a couple of lines in the section 'means of compenstion'. Ohconfucius 23:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Very strong keep Cringemakingly feeble article on an important topic about which whole books have been written. Both the redirects suggested are inaccurate as the other topics do not overlap with the entirity of this subject. Piccadilly 13:30, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Merge with Wage or something similar, and then delete. — FireFox ^(talk) _{11:29, 03 September 2006}
• Keep and expand. Blowski makes some good points. As does Piccadilly re: the redirects. Marcus22 15:49, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge and delete to Wage, then we might as well have articles on all types of pay. --Terence Ong _{(T | C)} 16:27, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and expand, per Marcus22.-Kmaguir1 20:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and expand. Cynical 21:36, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep This absolutely should not be merged to wage. Wage almost always referrs to pay regardless of performance, such as salary or hourly wages. Incentive or commission would be appropriate one word targets for most modern businesses, piece rate is in the developed countries only infrequently used today, but was quite common before the industrial era. Bonus schemes can be either for performance or not, and often are a combination. There is an specialty role within the Human Resources job family devoted to designing and managing pay schemes, we ought to have a general article on pay schemes, but I haven't found anything at any of the likely titles including pay and compensation.

• Keep, it's a serious topic for any encyclopedia, like Piccadilly and others have said.Mereda 06:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and expand, per above.
