Non-notable neologism. --Anna Lincoln (talk) 08:24, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * (Changed) Keep: Not only am I finding numerous reliable sources that use this term, but I have found an article written specifically about this term: Cristina Odone, "Ye olde Brits, don't give up on the Mickey Mouse image", New Statesman, Mar. 26, 2001. Other articles that use the term in passing:, .  Check out the google news archive hits:   Cazort (talk) 14:38, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. While not exactly a neologism, this is just an example of the use of "Mickey Mouse" as an adjective that means, basically, "inauthentic", which is already covered at Mickey Mouse.  I don't think the article establishes that "Mickey Mouse _country_" has any independent notability. Tevildo (talk) 17:39, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, and I change my recommendation from Keep to Merge and Redirect, although I think looking at the size of that section, as a separate matter, I would recommend to Split the section on pejorative uses into its own page, and make a paragraph on it about the term "Mickey Mouse country". Man this sounds complex but it shouldn't be too hard!  Cazort (talk) 00:25, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge and delete Agree with Tevildo, term can be applied to many things. Anything useful can be merged. --neon white talk 21:10, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
