 * Keep Although I expected to delete as a neologism, I found widespread discussion of this term. WP:NEOLOGISM says, "To support an article about a particular term or concept we must cite reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term or concept, not books and papers that use the term."  It seems that this term meets that standard.  The Financial Post here wrote "The word recessionista -- originally a person who enjoys dressing fashionably on a budget -- has gained rapidly in currency and now embraces the worlds of dining, entertaining and beauty.  It was declared the word of the week on the Macmillan Dictionary Web site last week and is one of the top fashion buzz words of 2009, along with its sibling "chiconomics," according to the Global Language Monitor."  It has also been covered by Reuters here, CBS News here, the Times of India here, Wales Online here, the San Francisco Chronicle here, as well as in several other publications.
