Hack gap

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Judging from the article, this seems to be a phrase used maybe twice, once each by two people. No evidence of notability. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 21:46, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

Is it too difficult for you to click on the links above and see for yourself what the usage of the phrase is? &mdash; goethean 21:59, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Just looked at the article's sources. There is one article in which the phrase "hack deficit" (not "hack gap") appears, and another article that quotes the first article. That's it. No basis for a WP article. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 22:19, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge to Political hack. The "Hack" in "Hack gap" looks to refer to "political hack". Whether there are 2 or 20 sources, as long as it's based on that other neologism, I think it makes the most sense to mention it there. Can always spin it off later if the article grows considerably, but I don't see that happening any time soon. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 15:23, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to Political hack. I agree with Rhododendrites. We don't need a separate article for every spin-off term based off of a neologism. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:04, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge per all of the above; violates WP:FORK. Bearian (talk) 18:19, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
