[edit]

Too early. Proposed term by a professor. at this point it is completely unclear whether this term will come in accepted use. There are a couple of hits, often intertwined with "Millennium Development Goals". Most hits specifically on this topic are from blogs. Until this term is actually widely accepted it is really a matter of WP:NOTNEWS and questionable long term notability. Travelbird (talk) 17:13, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Topic is on the UN agenda and discussions are moving forward in civil society, business, research and govt. networks. Should be retained with cross ref. to well known MDG. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Worldscribe (talk • contribs) 04:54, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete current version as a copyright violation of the article summaries posted at the externally linked site. The topic may still be of value to cover in a well written, sourced article. I suggest running the article wizard and building up a draft in userspace first. —UncleDouggie (talk) 05:47, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Article reworded to avoid potential copyright problems. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Worldscribe (talk • contribs) 08:52, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete a nice theory. My crystal ball tells me there's no way this turns into anything. Millennium Development Goals are used by developed countries as a means to target their development spend which is why they matter. This is just a political stunt and will not succeed at the UN so won't become notable. MLA (talk) 08:53, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that Millennium Development Goals are top down and depend on government actions. However, second paragraph of MCG article makes clear that this is also a bottom up approach that is getting a good response at city and community levels. The UN discussions may take time, but grass roots action is moving faster among civil society, community and business groups. Therefore, definitely not a political stunt. Let us see over the next few months. comment added by Worldscribe —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.231.23.57 (talk) 19:30, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If it does turn into something then it gains notability and becomes an article but the crystal ball point is partly illustrative of the current lack of notability. It is too early to tell right now so too early for an article to exist. MLA (talk) 22:09, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
