Lighthouse project
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence for the notability of this term in English. This article has never had any real sources since its creation in 2015 (the one source given is a ngram showing the use of the German term). The term occurs in various ghits (though most often with reference to a physical lighthouse), but no definition or discussion of the concept seems available, hence nothing to create a useful encyclopedia article. I misguidedly tried to draftify it until sources could be found but it was pointed out that an article which had survived an AfD should not be draftified.

The previous AfD was closed 3 months ago as "No consensus" (nomination plus just one Keep and one Delete, even after relisting, plus a Comment which included "not seeing much reason to keep"). The essay at WP:RENOM suggests 2 months as a reasonable limit before which an article should not be nominated again. This article is still not an asset to our encyclopedia.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment The only substantial change since the previous AfD has been the addition of an unsourced paragraph about Indonesian terminology. Pam  D  16:51, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - a quick search found some mentions of the term, but didn't reveal any significant coverage by reliable sources needed to establish notability.--Staberinde (talk) 20:04, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:DICDEF and WP:NEO. This appears to be a literal translation of a foreign language metaphor or idiom. We don't have an article on Under my roof, nor one for Go with me, nor The sweet life, nor Shadow joy, so there's no reason for this idiom, either. If it's kept, as with Sisu or Seny, I'd like to see much more sourcing. Bearian (talk) 12:08, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
