PROD was removed, reason given: Remove PROD tag - may be notable. This is a problematic, unreferenced article about a topic that may or may not also be covered elsewhere. That said, corresponding articles in other Wikipedias are referenced. Recommend discussion at AfD, hopefully with some economists’ input. This makes sense to me. I couldn't establish that it was notable, or be sure it wasn't covered elsewhere. Boleyn (talk) 08:23, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Reads like a junior school essay to be honest. Net cost is a thing, basically what you buy an item for from wholesalers before resale to the public, but this isn't describing that. Oaktree b (talk) 22:52, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per Oaktree and WP:NOTDICTIONARY. Bastun^{Ėġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!} 09:52, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to cost. I think cost price could and should be a concept that there is encyclopedic content about on Wikipedia, beyond that of a dictionary entry. I looked at Britannica for comparison. However the current article has no footnotes so it is difficult to see what is sourced and what is not. I've suggested merge, though it would have to be done by someone who could add inline citations at the same time, probably with reference to the source materials in the current general references, if that's possible. Otherwise, I expect others will argue there's no properly referenced material to merge. To which I would argue WP:MINREF. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 11:06, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with Cost: Per Curb's rationale. Best, Reading Beans 13:36, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete There's nothing worth merging here that isn't covered at Cost. Also MINREF isn't a useful argument, as the content has been challenged. The 'This page in a nutshell' of WP:RS is a better argument. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 15:00, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
