Complete lack of appearance in scholarly literature means this is fringe at best, and I can find no discussion of it as such. Mangoe (talk) 22:41, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - No sources outside some fringe circles, agree with nom. byteflush Talk 00:56, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - no hits at all in Google Scholar either, suggesting that the cited sources are fringe. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:42, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, I checked references 7 and 8, they do not mention any Maxwell Zombies. (3 I can not access online, 4-7 do not seem to be peer-reviewed, and I did not check them). Looks like a neologism.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:20, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. power~enwiki ( π, ν ) 20:58, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Zero in Google Scholar. Zero in JSTOR. One use of the term in Google News but that is a Tripadvisor photo of a drink, presumably of that name. I even tried searching "Maxwell zombie" and got nothing. This is not a thing. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:53, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. In spite of recent (July-August 2018 issue of American Scientist: by the same author. This is not accepted science. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rec4062 (talk • contribs) 21:42, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
