 * Merge to Third Coast, since those are apparently both marketing/colloquial names for the same region. To be honest, I've never heard either of those terms used to describe the region around the Great Lakes. Being in Minnesota, I'm biased, though; I just think of it as being the North Shore, ignoring 4 1/2 other lakes.  --Elkman (Elkspeak) 22:35, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

 * (Fine with a) Merge to Third Coast. Though I would suggest that the Mayor of Milwaukee using the term to refer to the city and/or region, although arguably a "marketing-savvy term," is actually notable. Indeed, it counters Rust Belt (which Third Coast does not) and emphasizes the resource of fresh water, which is going to be increasingly notable in years to come.--Restecp 04:22, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * response - I disagree with the merge proposal. They occupy different mindspaces. Third Coast has been a widely-used term for some years, intended as an alternative to the whole "Rust Belt" vibe with a tourism appeal. Fresh Coast, on the other hand, is a non-notable neologism, intended to counter the Rust Belt mindset by appealing to the "fresh water is our future" meme; but fails under WP:NEO to meet our standards. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:01, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete unused neologism, that happens to have been "coined" (if something essentially unused can actually be "coined") by someone somewhat notable. Similar to if Kato Kaelin or J.T. O'Sullivan invented a word that nobody uses. -Drdisque (talk) 02:56, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
