Talk:Gig economy

Dedicated article discussion

I'm unclear why this doesn't have a dedicated page and instead redirects to gig worker? Surely there has been a lot of activity around the term, it's history and various use, enough to justify a full page?

Doubtful there's enough to say about the term specifically, as opposed to the concept, which has too much WP:OVERLAP with the concept of gig workers to justify separation. —swpb^{T • go beyond • bad idea} 15:01, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

• @LisaLinz, Whoisjohngalt, Itseileenhan, Niharikasharma93, and Phifty:, you all took an interest in expanding this article in the past. It has spent the last 5.5 years as a redirect. I am resurrecting it. Feel free to chip in. If it is going to be deleted, it should be given a full WP:AFD consideration to see if User:Swpb and User:DreamLinker are right.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:38, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
  • The 2nd sentence of the article now says: "The gig economy is composed of corporate entities, workers and consumers." For the last four years the article has redirected to gig worker, which is only one of the three parts of the gig economy. That should clarify why this article should exist as a separate subject. The article is not high caliber right now, but I think it should survive a WP:AFD because of this clarification.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:32, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
  • @TonyTheTiger: Thanks for tagging me, I'll review!

• ... that "gig" in gig economy comes from the slang term for individual appearances by performing artists? Source: https://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/outside-voices-careers/articles/what-is-the-gig-economy

Created by TonyTheTiger (talk). Self-nominated at 15:40, 5 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Gig economy; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Be advised that this article existed in article space for a month and a half in 2018. It was then redirected to temporary work for a year and a half and then gig worker for 4 years. I can find no evidence of a WP:AFD, WP:CSD or WP:PROD in this article's history. I think it should have its own article. The current second sentence explains why redirecting it to gig worker is not sufficient ("The gig economy is composed of corporate entities, workers and consumers"). This is a current WP:VA5 nominee.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 15:44, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
