 * Delete Not a commonly-used term. I can't find any reliable sources; may be an invention of http://www.wilsonofkilwinnet.com/ There are no hits in google books or google scholar, which suggests it's not a commonly used term in genetics. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:28, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. I will not vote because I have a COI. In my non-WP life as a genetic genealogist I invented this jokey term for a relatively small cluster of human Y-DNA haplogroup R1b, but I did not create this article. I think it has only been published about on private websites and in internet forums at this stage. I could probably prove that it is a recognized term in meaningful genetic genealogical discussions, for example I believe it is a recognized cluster of the R-L21 project, but not more than that. I therefore can not see any strong reason to keep and I doubt anyone knows better than myself. If the cluster ever gets published about I doubt it will be under the current name anyway.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 07:20, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
