RfC: Is the redirection of gig economy still valid?

Hi, I am a new German Wikipedia author and noticed the redirection of "gig economy" to this article. I don't think that this connection is right and hope to inspire somebody of the English community to make an admin entry about the case. There is a good article from Prof. Arun Sundararajan in the Guardian [1] that could be basis of a new Wiki page about it. I'm sorry I can't do it myself because of my lacking language skills.

  • Well, that's an opinion column on Comment is free, which isn't quite as good of a source as an article written by a staff journalist on the main site. I usually consider that a glorified blogging platform. If there are other, better sources, then the redirect could get its own article, but I'm not very familiar with the concept. Wikipedia has a guideline on neologisms that may apply. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:28, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
Opinion pieces need other sources to back it up. Misdemenor (talk) 05:14, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
Reliable sources will be needed if we are to create a new page, which doesn't seem like it will be an issue [2]. There are much better sources out there than an opinion piece to use as a basis for a new article. Meatsgains (talk) 03:14, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Dr. Destefanis's comment on this article

Dr. Destefanis has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:


The article basically relates to the US, while the interest of the topic in OECD countries mainly comes from their development in Europe.

see https://www.oecd.org/employment/emp/17652675.pdf ; http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/publications/report/2015/labour-market/recent-developments-in-temporary-employment-employment-growth-wages-and-transitions.

It needs to be completed in this sense.


We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

We believe Dr. Destefanis has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:
