Slow marketing was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 22 February 2016 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Slow movement (culture).

After reviewing the web site, "Slow Home," linked to in the "External Links" section, it appears that it has little to do with the genuine Slow Movement. It looks to me as if that site has merely appropriated the moniker from the Slow Food movement - and the Slow Movement in general - in order to lend itself a little cachet. I propose that the link to Slow Home be removed, as it is just another consumer-oriented web site and company, the very antithesis of the Slow Movement.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.2.240.21 ( talk • contribs) 19:48, 26 June 2007
Slow home removed as per above request.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Greycar ( talk • contribs) 03:47, 8 October 2007
Slow Retail also seems to have little or nothing to do with the actual movement, seemingly added simply for a quick link. Thoughts? Opinions? TheGiftedOne 06:49, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

User:Mindmatrix recently deleted an edit by an IP user which looks like vandalism, but actually isn't. It said:
"Slow Sex is a branch of the Slow Movement. It's an alternative to the fast-food sex that pervades our culture. Instead of using sex as an escape, we encourage people to feel into each nook and cranny of their sex. We find that by getting back to the basics of connecting to your body, being honest about your experience, and communicating with your partner, we can have sex that is more intimate and sensational."
I think that if this were written and referenced a bit better, it would be fine. Carl Honoré's book "In Praise of Slow" has a chapter on this. -- Rixs ( talk) 06:52, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

I am also looking for sources and others interested in slow travel.
My main interest is in what I call medium speed rail. I think about 60mph or about 100km/h is fast enough for anybody, and it has great benefits in safety and conviviality. And in Australia we have lots of level crossings, and these are just not compatible with high speed rail. Bring back the Orient Express, the British "slow train" and the good old Aussie "mixed".
When I raised this opinion on Quora one of my fellow contributors suggested I see a psychiatrist. So I'm looking for like minds. But if I find any it will possibly be a subtopic for this article, which is why I feel OK about raising it here.
We should of course include the fact that there have been previous quite successful slow trains in the past, but these have been largely abandoned following for example the Beeching cuts. Andrewa ( talk) 22:48, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

I've just looked in on the
Slow architecture page and found a tag saying “this article is in the process of being merged... (not “
it has been suggested...” but that it is
all done and dusted)” and that “the relevant discussion is
on the article's talk page (nope!) or at the target article talk page (not here, either)”.
Can I suggest that if a merger of these pages is contemplated, that it be proposed, explained and discussed (per
the relevant guidelines) so that some semblance of
a consensus be determined. Hmm?

Noting that the proposed merge tag was removed from slow television by this edit. Indeed the brief discussion of it in this article fails WP:summary style in that it does not summarize the so-called "main article" on the topic, and neither does the main article seem to cover the same ground as the summary. The reader is left wondering if these might be two somewhat related, yet different concepts. Also noting that this article uses the primary term " slow media", stating that is "more specifically" slow television – is that slow social media? Yet slow media is a red-link. Indeed the concept, as described at the "main article", seems like a form of extreme reality television, and so is far-removed from the original idea of Slow Food.

I've also reverted
the unexplained page move on 30 August; there was no obvious reason for this, as the previous title was
stable, and
well-supported by usage; a Gsearch for “Slow Movement” (
here) throws up more than half a million results, while there is little evidence of a movement simply called “Slow” (see search,
here).
If there is any good reason for this title change, I suggest it be presented as a
Request Move, to see if anyone else agrees that it's a good idea.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Slow movement (culture). There is a consensus that the title should be de-capitalized, per naming conventions ( WP:LOWERCASE), but the main objection is that this article is not the primary topic. Most users indicated flexibility as to what should be used to disambiguate the title ("culture", "sociology", "social issues", etc.), so I decided to use "culture" since it is more commonly used in everyday contexts as compared to "sociology". I will also create a disambiguation page. Biblio worm 23:20, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Proposed addition to Slow Fashion:
Functional and fashion novelty drives consumers to replace their items faster causing an increase of imported goods into the U.S alone. It is reported by the Economic Policy Institute that in 2007, the U.S has imported six billion dollars' worth in fashion articles. Popular brands, such as Patagonia, make products that are made to endure the test of time and be environmentally conscious. (Sharon Bloyd-Peterson)
Bloyd-Peshkin, Sharon. “Built to Trash.” In These Times, 21 Oct. 2009, http://inthesetimes.com/article/5023/built_to_trash. Ian Prentice ( talk) 00:02, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
Proposed addition to Slow Food:
Tim Cooper, author of Longer Lasting Solutions, insists on “slow consumption.” He goes on to say, “The issue to address is what kind of economy is going to be sustainable in its wider sense- eco- nomically, environmentally and socially.” Saul Griffith introduces “heirloom design” during a February Greener Gadgets conference in 2009. He notes a lasting design, mend ability, and the option of being modernized to advocate slow consumption. Through legislation, alternative options, and consumer pressure can further manufactures into designing items in a more heirloom fashion.

and
Although the initial purpose of the movement is to discover a way to enjoy food in a more traditional and relaxed manner, another side component of the slow food movement is its ability to inspire the growth of a social movement through the use of food. Though the movement itself may not seem as though it’s on an obvious path to politicization, the mobilizing effect can’t be ignored. As one-time vice president of Slow Food International, Alice Water’s states, “Is having a refined palate or training it a political act? I hope so; politics is not just voting. Politics in Greek sense was about every interaction that you had with every other person on the planet and learning to eat and appreciating the person who grew your food is [central to that].

Proposed addition to Slow Education:
As an alternative approach to our modern faster styles of reading, such as speed reading, the concept of slow reading has been reintroduced as an educational branch of the slow movement. For instance, the ancient Greek slow reading practice known as Lectio, which is now known in our modern times as lectio divina, has become a way of reading that encourages more in-depth analysis and a greater understanding of the text being read. Though this method is originally of a christian monastic origin, its technique can be used in other areas of education besides the study of theology.

Proposed addition to Cittaslow:
Cittaslow cities use the concept of glocalization to prevent the impending globalization of their cities. “The case of the Spanish Cittaslow towns offers a particular example of how towns can actively exploit the interpenetration of the global and the local. In these towns, a local–global relationship has emerged in ways that enable controlled development and the maintenance of local uniqueness.” (Servon, Pink, 2015)

Proposed addition to Slow Travel:
The future of Slow Travel is aiming toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions by reducing car and air travel because the rate we are using planes and cars is not sustainable for our atmosphere. To achieve [the] goal of [reduced] plane and car use for travel, the Slow Travel Movement [aims] to make the journey as exciting as the destination when traveling. Advocates believe that the combination of environmental awareness and cost efficient traveling will move people towards Slow Travel. (Dickinson, Lumsdon, 2010)

The article states that the movement "began with Carlo Petrini's protest". The main image shown, however, is of Carl Honoré.
I suggest that an image of the former would be a better fit for the article. Carl Honoré appears to have a number of articles, for himself and his books, which mostly have a marketing / promotional style. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.2.35 ( talk) 17:02, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
I propose merging Slow design into this article. That article is a badly written essay with few sources, but a couple of sentences might be appropriate here. Reyk YO! 13:15, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
Does this book really deserve such a prominent place in the lede?
Currently it has a puffy description ("is to the slow movement what Das Kapital is to communism"), with a broken link as a citation. I couldn't find any evidence that it's really such an important book.
Perhaps we should make it less prominent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.137.149.161 ( talk) 11:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Interesting to see the noted Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky included in here... but he was making films quite a long while before this movement even got started. The text seems to suggest that he was in some way inspired by it though... Richard Move ( talk) 14:17, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Proposed addition to Cittaslow:
Cittaslow cities use the concept of glocalization to prevent the impending globalization of their cities. “The case of the Spanish Cittaslow towns offers a particular example of how towns can actively exploit the interpenetration of the global and the local. In these towns, a local–global relationship has emerged in ways that enable controlled development and the maintenance of local uniqueness.” (Servon, Pink, 2015)

Proposed addition to Slow Travel:
The future of Slow Travel is aiming toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions by reducing car and air travel because the rate we are using planes and cars is not sustainable for our atmosphere. To achieve [the] goal of [reduced] plane and car use for travel, the Slow Travel Movement [aims] to make the journey as exciting as the destination when traveling. Advocates believe that the combination of environmental awareness and cost efficient traveling will move people towards Slow Travel. (Dickinson, Lumsdon, 2010)

The article states that the movement "began with Carlo Petrini's protest". The main image shown, however, is of Carl Honoré.
I suggest that an image of the former would be a better fit for the article. Carl Honoré appears to have a number of articles, for himself and his books, which mostly have a marketing / promotional style. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.2.35 ( talk) 17:02, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
I propose merging Slow design into this article. That article is a badly written essay with few sources, but a couple of sentences might be appropriate here. Reyk YO! 13:15, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
Does this book really deserve such a prominent place in the lede?
Currently it has a puffy description ("is to the slow movement what Das Kapital is to communism"), with a broken link as a citation. I couldn't find any evidence that it's really such an important book.
Perhaps we should make it less prominent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.137.149.161 ( talk) 11:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Interesting to see the noted Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky included in here... but he was making films quite a long while before this movement even got started. The text seems to suggest that he was in some way inspired by it though... Richard Move ( talk) 14:17, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
