[edit] Academic squatting
Contested prod. Concern: "NN neologism; 14 Google hits; delete per WP:NOT / WP:NEO." Explanation for prod removal at Talk:Academic squatting. --Muchness 17:19, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- How often does Academic squatting happen? If it is a big or coming tendency, keep it, else delete. Anthony Appleyard 17:27, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete it isn't a big tendency, as most universities are so open to cr@p classes now that all one has to do is get a few people to propose a course and it's offered. This is a neologism, probably very localized. SkierRMH 18:08, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. Can't find much reference to the term outside of the University of Ottowa - it doesn't seem to have been adopted into wider use. Probable Conflict of interest, as presumably the editor is (or is related to) the Rancourt in the article. Unless there's evidence that it is used more widely, then I think it has to be deleted.

- Delete this neologism. Guy (Help!) 18:51, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. The author has 5 days to do a better job asserting notability. - Aagtbdfoua 18:53, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - per WP:NEO. As the nom says, only 14 google hits, which shows this isn't a very popular term. Jayden54 20:08, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Page not needed (orphan). One example does not a trend make. Hu 08:28, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect (without merge) to the reasonably well-developed article on teach-ins, a better-known word describing roughly the same phenomenon. -- Rbellin|Talk 23:15, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
