American Taliban

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable neologism used by bloggers and op/ed writers, no reliable sources use this term in reference to the subject of the article as written. The only reliable source citations using this term are those referring to John Walker Lindh, which might be an appropriate redirect target for this article.

 * Weak delete in favor of a redirect to John Walker Lindh. I had to delete the original creation of this article a couple of times, as it was not remotely NPOV. This version was better, so I decided to give it a chance.  Still, the neologism has never expanded beyond use by a few pundits, so the article should probably should just go.

 * Merge/Redirect This is one and the same as John Walker Lindh. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:05, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect per the above 2. The only time I have ever seen this term was when referring to Lindh.  TJ   Spyke   16:07, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to John Walker Lindh. This man is the only person to whom this label has ever been applied in a notable fashion. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 16:58, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment from original nominator: For what it is worth, I was not aware of the concurrent AfD running on Hindu Taliban until about five minutes ago. I have not participated in that particular debate (and don't plan to do so), but felt that I should acknowledge the other discussion now that I am aware of its existence.

 * Delete. There is no such thing.  This doesn't even qualify as a common neologism.  Do not redirect, do not pass go.   coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  23:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable neologism. No major objection to a redirect, but unnecessary. Bongo  matic  15:31, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete agree with no redirect above. This is critical to npov in my eyes.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:01, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
