Amerification

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

My first reaction was this was a duplicate of Americanization. After reading the article, I realize that it is about a similar but different concept. However, it is unreferenced and it is not clear if this is actually a popular concept. If referenced, I would recommend a merge with Americanization because neither article is very long, and the concepts are very closely related to each other. JDDJS (talk) 17:40, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment: Also seems to overlap with the concepts covered in Cultural assimilation of Native Americans. RA 0808  talkcontribs 17:41, 11 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - I thought this sounded plausible, down to the claimed distinction from Americanization (home/abroad). But it's pure WP:OR - there's no definition of the term anywhere, nor does it seem to be used e.g. in Hawaii as claimed for the stated meaning. I don't believe it's a WP:HOAX from the article's tone, but it is not only uncited but unciteable: there's nothing out there. I would have suggested a merge but I can't see anything we could keep, would be happy to be corrected on that. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:16, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete and probably redirect as anyone searching this term probably means Americanization. Hyperbolick (talk) 18:46, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP is not the place for first publication. OR. Anmccaff (talk) 23:04, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per the various above. The only "distinction" I can see between the "-isation/-ization" and "-fication" is that the article on Americanization doesn't currently talk much about a change of identity, while it just as easily could (the one on Russification does, which I think is why this article may have been created). I'd suggest it's a plausible redirect, but definitely not a standalone article. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:53, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
