Basis of unity

Non-notable, no refs, page has been orphaned for years without any work done. Doesn't seem like any meaningful references can be found that anyone uses this term in this way. Conical Johnson (talk) 01:42, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a confused synonym for "mandate", at least as it applies to organizations... although I can't find that particluar definition of mandate on wikipedia. Maybe I need to spend time with a thesaurus. Hairhorn (talk) 02:28, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - this is used as jargon in business management - or merge with Mandate (politics), "the power granted by an electorate." Bearian (talk) 18:05, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

According to the basis of unity page, it's the principles that unite people who agree with each other. This is not at all the same as "the power granted by an electorate". The definition of one of these things must be wrong if they are the same, right? Conical Johnson (talk) 18:43, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Much management jargon is almost or completely devoid of meaning; for me that's another reason to delete rather than a defense of the article... Hairhorn (talk) 11:04, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete I can't imagine content for this page that isn't original research. Stuartyeates (talk) 11:14, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not potentially verifiable in reliable sources. Borders on WP:NEO. I think it is ordinarily called "founding principles". Drawn Some (talk) 11:55, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless the term itself has been described enough to meet WP:N than any way of describing it will lead to original research. Them From Space 06:25, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
