Long-standing unreferenced mini-article. Reads like an essay on Solicitudo Rei Socialis, from which is quotes on a seemingly arbitrary basis. Unclear how this is in any way distinct as a topic from subsidiarity (Catholicism) (which itself read seems like a prematurely forked subpage of subsidiarity, but at least that one has sources). Delete, and move any meaningfully distinct content to those various other articles, as required. Smartiger (talk) 23:15, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment (I will do no more since I am not a Catholic) Sollicitudo Rei Socialis is a mere stub article. if the subject of this article derives from that encyclical, I wonder whehter the answer may be to merge this article into that one. The external link from that article is itself a long article setting out the backgound to the encyclical. It ought to be possible to make a decend article from that, without COPY-VIO.

• Keep I daresay that this topic has enough merits to make it a topic of interest in theology. Maybe it will be a better article - longer and more in-depth - if it received edits from people with expertise in this area. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 14:28, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - there is no evidence that this concept has been covered by secondary or tertiary sources. Bearian (talk) 22:33, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Use of term lacks coverage. Could be included as a section in Pope John Paul II but not as a standalone article. 1292simon (talk) 01:52, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
