Generation &quot;We...&quot;

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

This is a marketing term, not a notable generation. Many other neologisms have been deleted or merged from Wikipedia. In my opinion http://www.nationaljournal.com/campaigns/2007/articles/0309nj1.htm is probably the only citation worth merging into Generation Y and from the article it is clear that the authors are not seriously proposing Generation We as a title for a generation, it's just a title for the article Kevin143 (talk) 01:59, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that the nom's statement, "not a notable generation" is probably not what he meant to say, after all, is it even possible to call this particular generation, in its entirety, as notable or not? Nonetheless, I've looked at all the sources, and it does appear to me to be more of a marketing gimmick than anything.  That may change some day, but for now, this just doesn't cut it, so I'm voting delete.  Un  sch  ool  02:38, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
