Late Victorian Holocaust

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

"Late Victorian Holocaust" appears to be a non-notable neologism. Apart from being used as a title to one book, I have found no reliable sources that use "Late Victorian Holocaust" to describe the events in India that the quote pertains to. JEdgarFreeman (talk) 23:13, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Unsourced and apparently non-notable term coined by someone who doesn't even have thier own article. Edward321 (talk) 23:39, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The person who wrote the book has got an article on Wikipedia, and I have fixed the relevant hyperlink on the Late Victorian Holocaust article. However, the fact that this person does have an article does not detract, imo, from the evidence to suggest that "Late Victorian Holocaust" is a non-notable neologism.

 * Delete. This might be just barely notable enough to warrant mention in the article on the Great Famine of 1876-78, but does not warrant its own article. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, let alone a dictionary of neologisms. LordAmeth (talk) 05:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable term. See also Articles for deletion/British-India Holocaust. Nick Dowling (talk) 10:29, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Looking at a related article Late Victorian Holocausts, it's not even that clear, absent any clear references, that the term "late Victorian Holocaust" has the single meaning contended for by this entry. Even if it did, it would seem to belong under the heading of Mike Davis who appeared to coin the term or in an article relating to that period of Indian history.

 * Delete as neologism. I did find some evidence that the author's other coined term for this event currently at afd, British-India Holocaust, has been used elsewhere - although mainly on sites with an extremely pointed agenda - but not this one.   Ka renjc 22:03, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as clearly part of a campaign to push a POV, related to Articles for deletion/British-India Holocaust. --Russ (talk) 14:16, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-neutral, neologism, POV fork of Great Famine of 1876–78.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:43, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment Since no reliable sources seem to exist that prove 'Late Victorian Holocaust' is not a neologism, I would like to urge a deletion of this article per WP:SNOW.  JEdgarFreeman (talk) 11:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
