  • Delete due to WP:NEO and lacking WP:RS. Budgiekiller 20:06, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Although the article does need work, I was really surprised to see about 190,000 ghits for the phrase, including countries/languages- Italy, Turkey, Poland, Russia, Greece... it's too widespread to be a simple neologism! SkierRMH 23:28, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment - a word can be widespread and still be a neologism. For example, "e-mail" is a neologism. Some become widespread and notable enough to merit articles; I just don't think this is one. It can be sufficiently addressed in the underlying article.--Kubigula (talk) 04:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
  • KeepThis globally recognised word derives from the name of an historic European motor manufacturer.It is right that the world has an encyclopaedic entry for Alfisti. It's root in history is too great to be denied.Hogan 23:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per reasons cited by nom. I was going to suggest merge with Alfa Romeo, but it's already adequately covered there.--Kubigula (talk) 04:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, specifically per Kubigula. WMMartin 20:53, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete — Would've said merge, but it's covered in Alfa Romeo. If better references can be found, or some news source, then maybe it could be redone in the future. Wizardman 17:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The word has more relevance in Europe and Australia than the USA where Alfa is a very small specialist brand. To balance this though, Wiki has more of a US rather than European slant.82.42.125.4 22:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
