[edit] Zolaism

Zolaism (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Either a dic-def or a neologism; either way, it's not an encylopedic subject. PC78 19:49, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

• Transwiki to Wiktionary. [1] suggests that it's in the OED, and a quick search (thanks to a university subscription) shows that they're right. First reference in 1882, definitely not a neologism. -FunnyMan 20:20, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep - not covered under WP:NEO per the comments of FunnyMan. I was going to vote Transwiki per WP:WINAD, but the page says that it incorporates text from the Nuttall Encyclopedia - doesn't that make it an encyclopedic topic? Although the article is written like a dicdef at present, I think it could be expanded into a decent article - we do have articles on literary movements.

• keep - if 3000 articles on types of Marxism exist, I'd say that one article about Zolaism isn't too much. Google Books has plenty to fill the article out [2]. Smmurphy^(Talk) 00:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep for the potential to expand beyond dic-def. –Pomte 03:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
