 * Comment: The phrase Galapagos Syndrome does seems to have appeared in a number of major newspapers. If it doesn't merit its own article, surely we can find an appropriate place to redirect to, such as Japanese mobile phone culture. --Milowent (talk) 14:19, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment:This article: Slowing Japan's Galapagos Syndrome from Huffington Post indicates it does not only apply to cellphones but to the isolationist Japanese culture in general. It has also been applied to US auto makers one available citation for example. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 14:35, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak keep - Even in absence of common parlance, reasonable notability appears to be established by articles in the New York Times, Japan Times, CNET, Washington Post, and Wired. Also, as Dr.K. points out, a redirect would be complicated because the term appears to be used in contexts outside of mobile phones. —  C M B J   00:54, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Per CMBJ's additional sources which are reliable secondary sources which indicate that this term is widespread enough to satisfy notability criteria. Its use is apparently diverse enough to include phenomena other than those related to Japanese cellphones, which makes it an unlikely target for a redirect. Possibly rename to: Galapagos Syndrome Dr.K. λogosπraxis 03:46, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to Galapagos Syndrome, the term used by multiple third-party reliable sources as shown above. —Quasirandom (talk) 15:46, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It should be moved back to Galápagos syndrome where I created the article. It is the wording used in the NY Times, but it can't be moved there. I don't have the ability to move to an occupied redirect. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 16:43, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I've no brief on whether to use the accent. Either way, the other spelling should redirect to the final choice. —Quasirandom (talk) 17:53, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I am ok with either solution. Thank you. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 17:59, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
