• Delete per WP:NOTESSAY. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 17:03, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:NOTGUIDE and WP:NOTESSAY, though I am also tempted to redirect the title to professional, which is the current target of professionalism. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 18:35, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• REDIRECT to professionalism professional as above. This is certainly a plausible search term, and if someone does search it they likely will want that article rather than one author's opinions on the concept. Crow^Caw 19:45, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Crow: if we do redirect this, the target should be professional so that we don't create a double redirect (see Wikipedia:Double redirects). -- Notecardforfree (talk) 19:48, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, not encyclopedic content (and not worthy of redirect). -IagoQnsi (talk) 22:54, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
