Disaggregated sovereignty

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is not a widespread term. It is a term used exclusively (or almost exclusively) by one author who coined it, similar to WP:NEO. I see no evidence that the topic meets WP:GNG. DePRODed by User:Andrew Davidson without any explanation as per usual. Rusf10 (talk) 18:58, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete This is a term used only by the person who created it, and does not have enough independent coverage for inclusion. Angryapathy (talk) 19:14, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Notice how "Angryapathy" claims that only one person uses this term but doesn't say who that is. citation needed. Andrew🐉(talk) 19:44, 2 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep The nomination's claims are false. The topic is documented in multiple sources by multiple authors such as The Changing Practices of International Law; Sovereignty beyond the state; International Politics; &c. Andrew🐉(talk) 19:44, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I can only assume that the person referred to by the nominator and the other person giving a "delete" opinion is Anne-Marie Slaughter, because she uses this term in the title of a 2004 paper. A Google Scholar search excluding papers by her gets 658 results (papers by other people that cover this). Does this indicate "a term used exclusively (or almost exclusively) by one author who coined it" or "a term used only by the person who created it"? Where are you people looking for sources without finding them? Phil Bridger (talk) 19:38, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Note that Anne-Marie Slaughter is quite notable as a respectable author, academic and lawyer and so her work on this topic has attracted attention. This is not a reason to delete anything. Andrew🐉(talk) 22:19, 3 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep Google NGRAM demonstrates the term has increasing use; also not clear that A-M Slaughter is the first or only person to use the term. Slaughter co-authored pieces in 1996 and 1998 with Walter Mattli which use the term. Google indicates the term appears in a 1989 text (republished 1991), but I do not have access to confirm.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. This is borderline, but does appear to be used here and there by reliable sources by multiple scholars. Did the nom do any WP:BEFORE? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 07:53, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
