Garbism

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Transwiki candidate, dictionary definition only with no encyclopedic information. Regards, CycloneNimrod Talk? 19:24, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete — not even a transwiki candidate because no-one uses the word. See .  ...  disco spinster   talk  20:18, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * (ec) Delete and possibly Transwiki per it being only a dictionary entry.  weburiedoursecrets inthegarden  20:19, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as a neologism. Google, JSTOR, and Ebsco know nothing of it; why I bothered searching them is beyond me, considering that the article all but says outright that this term was made up in a sociocultural psychology class sometime this semester.

 * Comment. I also think [Wiktionary] wouldn't want it, but I'm not too familiar with those criteria, so I could easily be wrong.   Anturiaethwr  Talk  20:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Per comments above.Renee (talk) 20:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No g-scholar hits and one unrelated g-books hit = hoax. 130.101.168.220 (talk) 20:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with the above, having done my own Google search and come up empty.  I took the liberty of removing a speedy tag since, AFAIK, neologisms/protologisms aren't suitable for speedy deletion, but I think this process will suffice to dispose of any questions.

 * KEEP This word is applicable in academic settings, as a framework for discussing a common yet often overlooked form of prejudice. To delete this word would be to deny the existence of the prejudice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.99.19.57 (talk) 02:56, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
