 * Delete The term doesn't even seem to have any real usage.  The article's sole source uses the term just once -- in the headline.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 01:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge to New towns in the United Kingdom (and stick a section-expand template on it), then redirect. Google search indicates that most of the first few hits do seem to use the term in this context, so I wouldn't delete the content outright; but unless someone is willing to put significant effort into expanding this article, I think it's simply neater to merge it.

 * You're right about the broader usage. What confused me was that, although the article addresses the "sociological syndrome", its sole source discusses something else -- a need for investment in infrastructure.  I found two sources for the syndrome and added them to New towns in the United Kingdom.  That article is pretty close to being a list article and I didn't see any convenient place to add a new section, so the new sources are attached to a (new) brief sentence at the end of the lead section.  The target article might be improved if the lengthy lists were moved to a new article List of new towns in the United Kingdom, thus making it easier to expand on the issues of sociology and investment needs.  But I'll leave that to someone more familiar with the subject matter.  For now, I'll be striking my delete and changing to Redirect.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 23:51, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
