[edit] Axis of medieval

Axis of medieval (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

This article constitutes original research by synthesis. It takes a relatively obscure phrase, used three times by Nicholas Kristof and once by Alex Kirby, and builds a framework that is not clearly supported by the underlying sources. As such, the article violates WP:NPOV and fails verifiability. It should be deleted because it doesn't meet these encyclopedic standards. *** Crotalus *** 01:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete: As neologism. All of 176 Ghits, the lead one this article, and the overwhelming majority blog entries. Great, it's a nice pun, har de har har, but there's no evidence that this is more than a catchphrase in the mouths of a few bloggers.  RGTraynor  03:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - no evidence that this is actually in widespread use. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 06:54, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This has been at AfD before; Twinkle seems to have overwritten the old version. Perhaps someone more confident in such matters could fix? Regardless, delete per nom, as this seems to be a synthesis of primary sources which happen to use the term somewhere, not secondary sources which discuss the term itself (WP:NEO).
