Mediocracy
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

WP:NEO, unsourced article. Claims in article appear to be based on a single primary source, a book by Fabian Tassano. CosmicJake (talk) 18:12, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Note Please note that although an article of this name has been subject of a previous AfD, the subject of this article is quite different to that one (it was a garage band). CosmicJake (talk) 18:17, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems to be a pretty straightforward case of WP:NEO.--William Thweatt Talk | Contribs 19:37, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete, non-notable neologism, dicdef. Hairhorn (talk) 02:59, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Note It's not too late for the irony of having an "In popular fiction" section with Idiocracy in it, but time is probably running out. Anarchangel (talk) 08:01, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Fabian Tassano, which already discusses his book on the subject. The article has very little info, and no indication that the concept is notable outside Tassano.  I'm dubious about the claim about Solzhenitsyn - there's no evidence what he said or that he said it, and it may not be relevant. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:54, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect as suggested. Seems the reasonable solution. Since Tassano wrote a book about this subject, the redirect is justified  DGG ( talk ) 05:26, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
