This atricle has merit in that it a management book has been cited and referenced. Use of research is apparent. Editor has no knowledge of Wikipedia hense article is incomplete. Harry Hood is a notable New Zealand writer. Suggest not to be deleteed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.89.86.234 (talk) 09:12, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A non-notable management theory. Google News shows nothing; Scholar shows only that other people have thought up the alliterative phrase, found it clever, and used it in a variety of unrelated contexts. The notion that probable ideas have more value than possible ideas plumbs new depths in triviality. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:37, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
DO NOT DELETE. This theory is recognised througout New Zealand. Have read numerous case studies. Try researching New Zealand content —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.89.86.234 (talk) 08:17, 15 October 2010 (UTC) — 120.89.86.234 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

The Possible Plausible Probable theory is a relatively new framework, inspired by Otago University researcher Alan Geare who's PhD focuses on contemporary management and marketing in the contemporary context. This framework is considered to be one of the most controversial and topical issues within contemporary management in New Zealand academia. The deletion of the Possible Plausible Probable Framework would signify a lack of academic understanding in relation to emerging contemporary Management theories. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.89.86.234 (talk) 08:47, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you supply sources verifying its notability in NZ academia? They don't have to be online sources: a WP:Reliable source in print would also be fine. Thanks, Top Jim (talk) 09:43, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
