Microfederalism gets 10 ghits. No sources, nothing.

  • Delete several of those 10 ghits seem to be re-inventing the word; haven't checked JSTOR but see no evidence of WP:N. JJL (talk) 05:32, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, probably falls under WP:NEO, but non-notable enough even if it doesn't. Lankiveil (talk) 06:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC).
  • delete as non notable idea and a neologism, Nuttah (talk) 09:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete google books returned 4 hits and google scholar gave 5. The hits on both searches do not discuss the ideology.--Lenticel (talk) 09:57, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above comments. STORMTRACKER 94 12:58, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete One of those "it could happen" type things. It's not very likely that a government, that has the power to abolish states, would then redistribute sovereign power to "very small, local political units". Dictatorships tend not to work that way. Mandsford (talk) 16:53, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. per nom. No prejudice against the concept should it someday become notable, but that has yet to happen. --Blanchardb-MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 18:18, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable Macy's123 21:07, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The topic is one that is discussed in social science circles. Admittedly, what is written so far is more of a dictionary definition than an encyclopaedic topic but that doesn't merit it for deletion: it simply needs expanding to better explain the concept and distinguish it from, and parallel it to, other forms of decentralisation, such as the break-up of the USSR. --Interesdom (talk) 16:24, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
