Anti-Centrism

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable neologism, with references that are questionable at best. It also appears to be an advert, a way of establishing quasi-notability for the neologism's creator. It has escaped from AFC after multiple verdicts of "Decline", but I see little point in simply moving it back to Draft space. Fiddle  Faddle  10:11, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per nomination. The article looks more like a thinly-veiled BLP than an article about a neologism. Without wanting to pre-empt the outcome of the sockpuppet investigation, the edit history is, at best, suspect. The page lacks reliable sources: apart from the first two references (YouTube and Reddit) and a passing unrelated mention of the term in the article by Matt Jameson, none of the cited footnotes even mention the phrase, let alone support GNG. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 12:28, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: would be WP:TNT-worthy even if a notable topic. No content here which usefully belongs at Draft:Greg Guevara instead. The YouTuber who it is about uses the term for satire/comedy rather than as serious political theory, I believe. — Bilorv ( talk ) 16:51, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge: It is a satirical ideology, yes. I'd consider it part of Political satire. It's a comedic/ satirical ideology created by one person, it's hard to find more and better sources/ references. I'd suggest merging it with Draft:Greg Guevara, or moving it back to Draftspace in case more (reliable) sources become available in the future. JonahF (talk) 04:03, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Draft space is not a storage area for things where no notability exists today. If and when notability can be proven for this neologism then the article may be written afresh or undeleted. Fiddle   Faddle  07:36, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Fair enough, I didn't know you could undelete articles, I'd still suggest to merge it though. --JonahF (talk) 15:24, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Nothing is ever lost here, at least as far as I know. But what is there to merge? The draft target you're suggesting doesn't look as if it will fly, or didn't when I looked last. The article we're discussig is (probably) intehded to generate faux-notability for the artiste Fiddle   Faddle  15:31, 28 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom as prime example of Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. --Lockley (talk) 06:09, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Something made up and fly with an attempt to make it fly further.  scope_creep Talk  14:05, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment What? Yes of course. So is literally everything else, that's not a point. Every ideology (and things like it) are something people just made up one day, and Wikipedia helps ideas/ knowledge of ideas spread. You don't have any point there --JonahF (talk) 15:24, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I remember declining this in Draftspace multiple times because it seems to be an "ideology" that some Reddit user created one day. Wikipedia is not a WP:SOAPBOX for you to try out your satirical japes. Bkissin (talk) 13:39, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per Lockley and Bkissin. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 01:25, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
