Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Smart government
The nomination and contributions so far seem to be relying rather too much on a view that essays of any type have no place in Wikipedia mainspace. But  does not talk about essays in general - it talks about ''personal'' essays, essays in which an editor puts forward their own unbacked personal opinion. In this case, when I do a GBooks search, I find quite a few sources (particularly ones over about four years old) which show only a verbal connection with the article subject - but I also find a number of recent sources that, at least at first sight, not only appear to be about this subject but to be usable sources for undercited parts of the article almost as they stand. On the whole, the article could do with a rewrite to make it more encyclopedic in style but does mostly seem to be presenting consensus (or at least common) positions on the subject. Having said that, I am not entirely convinced of the notability of the subject - it exists, seems to be getting written about to some extent, but also looks like something so totally of the moment that it could be completely forgotten in ten years. But we should be looking at that rather than the style in which the article is written
