Mexicago

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unsourced neologism with no evidence of widespread use. PROD contested by page creator, with no explanation. Searching for the term turns up no results (or at least none referring to this particular definition of the word) aside from the single book that is mentioned in the article. Based on the username of the page's creator, I'm going to guess that they are the author who coined the term. Rorshacma (talk) 21:57, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - nn neologism of dubious merit. No indications of widespread use outside the author's own promotions. MikeWazowski (talk) 23:04, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete: Blatant WP:NEO; I'd even go so far as to say WP:SPAM applies. Textbook example of the intro sentence for WP:NEO: "Articles on neologisms are commonly deleted, as these articles are often created in an attempt to use Wikipedia to increase usage of the term."  WP:MADEUP + self-published eBook = WP:SPAM.  Also WP:COI, etc. --Closeapple (talk) 21:53, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
