[edit] Westology

Doesn't seem to be very notable and doesn't generate any solid, unambiguous hits on Google. CrypticBacon 04:29, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as nn term and original research. Royal Blue ^T/_C 04:32, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as neologism. Bobby1011 04:33, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as rarely used term. Edgar181 12:28, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• "Contemprory" indeed! The name Foucault always rings alarm bells. Let's wait till it gets at least 1,000 times its current number of google hits. Delete as mere neologism (no, there's no originality and no research involved). -- Hoary 15:17, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as neologism (and not a very useful one at that). I don't think that Google is at all a reliable measure, though. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 18:05, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - "Original research"/neologism. Article creator has same name as blog author that is in referenced "See also". From his 2004 blog entry: 'I have wanted to start a new discipline, which I had tentatively called Westology" —ERcheck @ 18:51, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Google hits are not a good/reliable measure of "academic" popularity. I was thinking of merging it with Occidentalism, but the ideas are not similar. If it does not get the votes, i will move it to user page - SV 21:08, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as nn-neo. -- Krash (Talk) 23:43, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
