[edit] Red-green-brown alliance

Red-green-brown alliance (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Non-notable neologism. The definition of the term is given as "brown-green-red alliance among ultra-nationalists, the populist green movement, and communism's fellow travelers" by Roger Cukierman. [1] The term has no significant coverage in any reputed peer reviewed journal or anything. No hint in google book search [2], no significant coverage proved in google schlar search [3]. The term is mostly used by some advocacy groups and related people. The references given have only passing sound on this term, do not describe the term significantly. Fails WP:N.

  • Keep. Notable and sourced. I even remember an expression that "greens" are like watermelons: "green" outside but "red" inside.Biophys (talk) 01:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
On what basis it is notable? Sources do not significantly describe the term. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 07:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Keep/merge I have found two sources in English and, since there seem to be a lot more in French, the concept is notable. Since the parties represented by the colours seem to vary, I suggest merging with Rainbow Coalition. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:32, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep but possibly move. The term "red-green-brown coalition" seems to gain a few more ghits. BTW, the term is also used with different connotations here in New Zealand, where it indicates a broad similarity of policies among the Labour, Green, and Maori parties.
