Dubious
dubious article topic, probably fails WP:NOTE and/or WP:SYN. Should probably be moved to wiktionary as a neologism dictdef. --dab (𒁳) 13:40, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Biased Point of View
This article currently takes the position that xenocentrism is overcompensation for ethnocentrism. This not only seems biased, but it is an incomplete view of what xenocentrism is and what kinds of factors can cause it. Shimawa zen (talk) 02:27, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion
The article is no more than a dictionary definition and doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. What's more the definition is not even, well, definite about what it refers to and seems to have often been used mainly as a counter point to ethnocentrism by clever commentators.

 * The topic is a stub not a dictionary definition. Please see WP:DICDEF which explains the difference in detail. Andrew D. (talk) 01:16, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Allophilia?
How is this different from Allophilia? And if no answer arises, a merge may be required.Kortoso (talk) 18:24, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * From the Allophilia article it appears Todd L. Pittinsky, coined the term in 2006 in absence of a term to describe the condition. Perhaps they didn't have access to wikipedia because this article existed since 2005 and the term was coined in 1952.  I also notice that User:Jarble pointed out the sourcing on Allophilia was largely a single source and suggested in the tag that it is a neologism, possibly self promoted.  I generally hate tags and Jarble followed the bad habit of most drive-by taggers (who I refer to as vandals) by failing to leave any sort of comment on his single person complaint about an article.  That would have given us something further to comment on.  I've invited him to comment now.  Since it was his complaint, maybe he can also explain why he was too lazy to comment back in 2014 when he left the tag. Trackinfo (talk) 01:10, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

Additions to the page
I added some clarification to the relationship between xenocentrism and cultural relativism. I am also adding a section titled Consumer Xenocentrism as this seems to be a large part of the context in which this word is used. LBrook (talk) 04:39, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
