Catholic Ivy League

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A neologism coined in a single news article from the 1960s that has not gained acceptance in the mainstram. See neologism policy. GrapedApe (talk) 13:23, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep perusing Google News and Google Books convinces me that there appears to be sufficient RS usage of the term to support this article. Jclemens (talk) 06:49, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * A search of Google News (0 results), Google News archives (7 results) and Google Books (30 results) for the term "Catholic Ivy League" seems to indicate that the majority of returned results is due to the circumstance of the text using the identical sequence of words, eg, "Catholic, Ivy League graduates" as in "Catholics that are graduates of the Ivy League". It does not seem to be a commonly used term defining an understood grouping of schools in the majority of the the search results. The use of the term seems well insufficient for any standards of notability. CrazyPaco (talk) 17:54, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per Crazypaco. Most of the results are false hits, ie. coincidental juxtaposition of these common words; additionally, others use the term in the same way that the original Time article did but not in reference to the same schools, making it another coincidence of coining rather than a topic. We won't have an article based on a single magazine story. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 04:32, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
