Business continuity planning

Partial self nomination. Rewrote, expanded and improved the article and had a couple other Wiki peer review. Article ready for FAC status discussion. Revmachine21 06:41, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Object. No references (further reading is not the same thing) and none of the facts are cited to the sources they came from. Please read the featured article criteria before nominating an article. If it does not meet one of the basic criteria such as references, please do not nominate it. 2.) BCP is not "a methodology to create a manual" as the article now says it is. It is a methodology to set up a plan for how to continue business to the greatest extent possible after various contingencies. The manual is evidence the method has at least been attempted. nm I fixed that. 3.) BCP has a lot of overlaps with the risk management process, but this article doesn't even consider that link. That is just one example that shows this article needs more solid research to good sources before being FA quality. - Taxman 16:55, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
• Object 1) no examples of BCP in real life. 2) No examples of failure of organisations which did not do it and had problems because of it. 3) No examples of failures of organisations which did do it. 4) no comments on risk acceptance and the impossibility of completely protecting against all disasters. 6) extremely focused on small business / office scenario, what about BCP for large factories? Does the BCP methodology not cover that area? 7) what about other ways of doing it? 8) please add copyright notice to your diagram. 9) please add comparison to methodologies used in Japan and Taiwan where a disaster like 9/11 is considered relatively small and massive earthquakes are expected to be handled effectively. 10) please consider linking citations in the text using a system such as that proposed at Wikipedia:Footnote2. Overall, this article looks like it's going in a useful direction.
