IT Expenditure Taxonomy

The IT expenditure is an important matter for many organizations, a well-documented IT expenditure taxonomy would be very useful for people who are dealing with the matter. I would like to suggest to keep this page for further development. By Nian-Shing Chen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.8.26.39 (talk) 13:44, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would request that you allow the page to remain to allow further development. It can be reviewed on a periodic basis to ensure it meets Wikipedia's rules. The reason for its creation is that there is a gap in the literature regarding the classification of IT expenditures. This entry is creating a practical taxonomy to provide guidance in this area. It is intended to develop the page through discussion and review by subject matter experts. By initiating the page it will allow for the development of the taxonomy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianrs13 (talk • contribs) 15:58, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The title could be altered to read An IT Expenditure Taxonomy, making it less definitive. - Brian Stewart —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brianrs13 (talk • contribs) 21:25, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I would support keeping this article open. The concepts mentioned in this article have not yet received full exposure and therefore having this article developed would very much contribute to the area. Thanks, Kinshuk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.152.185.65 (talk) 09:09, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please retain this article. The core idea is still evolving and has the potential to become the much needed standard that bridges the government, academic, industry, and stakeholder perception on classification of IT expenditure.

Delete. An essay of original research: Due to its unique nature, Information Technology (IT) investment and expenditure is often at odds with traditional accounting guidelines. IT capital expenditures can be problematic due to their shorter life cycles and proportionately higher sustainability costs, particularly when compared to more mainstream capital items, such as land, buildings, or heavy equipment. Wikipedia is not for getting "full exposure" for new ideas to fix a "gap in the literature", or helping them evolve their "potential to become the much needed standard". Making it "less definitive" is an even worse idea, and tends to suggest that this article is at minimum premature. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:52, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
