Non-notable "social guide." Tone is inappropriate, article is a "How-To" on having social skills. I'm Flightx52 and I approve this message 03:08, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge whatever encyclopedic to Social skills . Actually I was about to place "merge" tag onto pages Social skill, interpersonal skills, soft skills, people skills, with heavy cleanup of the content, since all of them are of the same ilk. However I've been waiting for requested move Social skill -> Social skills. Muslim lo Juheu (talk) 05:48, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Eduemoni ^↑talk↓ 03:10, 31 March 2011 (UTC)There are at least 3 articles now on almost identical topics:social skills, interpersonal skills, people skills. If we want to prevent wikipedia from looking like a vast swamp of duplications of business motivational articles, then when we see something like this, we need to merge at least some of them and put the best from each in that merge, and attach a cleanup tag to the merge to indicate it's not that great an encyclopedia article.--Rich Peterson198.189.194.129 (talk) 17:48, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
