This article functions mostly as a cross between a lower quality version of Employee motivation and a dump of summaries of studies. I don't see how having the page is useful when Employee motivation and Work motivation both exist. Hihyphilia (talk) 02:17, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: User:Hihyphilia, I see you are a relatively new editor. Did you conduct a WP:BEFORE before nominating this article? Did you assess the sources? Do you have a policy-based reason for arguing for deletion?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 01:30, 28 September 2024 (UTC)- I was reassessing the sources and realized that the current page is a structured like a modified version of one of the sources (The thesis by Bergström, Emma; Garcia Martinez, Melanie (2016), cited 19 times). While I don't think the similarity is close enough to be a copyright violation, it is kinda sorta plagiarism? Quite a few of the sources seem more like someone picking sources that kinda look right from a google search, and don't support the text. I would need to visit a university library to 100% confirm they're bad though. Hihyphilia (talk) 02:53, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: Appears to be a WP:REDUNDANTFORK; a merge may work only if the above concerns of plagiarism are clarified and the content adds something sufficiently novel. pluckyporo (talk • contribs) 07:08, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
