Antimeridianism

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

The only hit on Google Scholar and Proquest is Crump and Davies 2022, which coins the term. It has yet to be cited by any other paper, making this WP:TOOSOON signed,Rosguill talk 06:32, 6 June 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 06:37, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete No significant coverage other than that mentioned by nom. Mind, it's never TOOSOON for a neologism... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:26, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The article could be reframed as a focus on the form of discrimination that antimeridianism represents, rather on the term per se. References relating to the form of discrimination that the term represents has been substantially increased, as suggested. It is important that persons remote to UTC 0 weigh in on this topic, since those living in time zones close to the prime meridian may be unaware of the scale of the problem.

 * This proposal doesn't really address the notability concern: if only one paper describes this specific form of discrimination, then it's not notable whether as a term or as a concept. We already have well-fleshed out articles on the extensive literature surrounding Global North and Global South, Orientalism, and other geographically-based gradients of discrimination that are similarly prominent in RS, there is no urgent need to document the valence of "antimeridianism" unless multiple reliable sources attest to its importance. signed,Rosguill talk 15:13, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, please address any conflicts of interest that you may have with John Crump, one of the authors of the paper coining this term. signed,Rosguill talk 20:49, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as per nom, I've searched, it's not a notable thing. CT55555 (talk) 17:31, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
