Hipster racism

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This term was coined by Carmen Van Kerckhove in 2006. Since then it seems not to have been picked up at all by the scholarly community. The sources cited in the article, other than the ones by Van Kerckhove, don't use the term, let alone discuss it. Vivicka Greene is mentioned in one source (not in article) as a scholar studying "hipster racism," but that study doesn't seem to have translated into actual scholarly work on the concept. It's just past something someone made up one day, and there are not sources available to establish its notability. &mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 14:29, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep As with Hipster sexism, this neologism seems to have beyond trivial usage. I'd be open to a redirect and/or merge here, but I'm having trouble figuring out to what. Racism? Not sure. § FreeRangeFrog croak 19:16, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep - not all articles need to have scholarly sources, only sufficiently reliable ones in the context. In this case, I think enough sources exist to justify an article on the topic. This article does have issues with NPOV, which I've tried to correct, but I don't think deletion is the right answer. (As an aside, as one of only a handful of editors to the article, I would have appreciated being notified of this AFD.) Robofish (talk) 13:57, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
