Consumarchy
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The original AfD rationale said "Prodded as protologism, based on coinage of one a single researcher." It was deleted, but the article was recreated anyway. Nothing has changed, though; as best I can tell all the "references" except one really are just talking about the concept in general and never use the word consumarchy anyway. (See http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2004/01/against-all-odds for an example of a "reference" given in the article).

To be sure, the idea of ethical consumerism exists, it's just, uh, at ethical consumerism. If this neologism turns out to have merit after all, this article should be merged and redirected to ethical consumerism anyway, as they seem to be covering the same concept. However, a Google reveals that the only sites talking about this are User:Consumarchy's blog (prominently linked at the end of the article), Wikipedia, Wikipedia mirrors, and other wikis. Yeah, this term doesn't actually exist, so just delete. Again. One paper does not a new term make. SnowFire (talk) 06:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
