Organizational Heterosexism

 * – ( View AfD View log )

neologism coined by one author. All references are from same author. Does not appear to be used in online discussions, scholarship, news, etc. Gaijin42 (talk) 17:32, 21 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I am the creator. The term has never been referenced before until the 2011 book titled Experiences of Single African American Women Professors: With This Ph.D. I Thee Wed was published, which has recently been published by Lexington Press and is thus cited in this Wikipedia article. With chapter 9 of the book, Dr. Howard uses (coins) and defines the term organizational heterosexism. Research has been done on heterosexism in the workplace by various scholars however this term has never been used until the 2011 book was released. Thus other sources, which describe examples of heterosexism in the workplace are included in this article, such as Wallace and more of Howard's work. Action "keep". More sources CAN be added that speak to research around heterosexism in the workplace, however this term is indeed defined and coined in a published work.
 * Delete. The unsigned "keep" comment by the creator of the article pretty much sums up why it should be deleted. It's pretty much an article about a neologism based upon original research. Agent 86 (talk) 18:43, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * delete Agree, the creators comment is the proof. Possibly redirect the term to hetrosexism, or add a section to the hetrosexism article. Not deserving of its own page. Gaijin42 (talk) 19:04, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * delete Agree with Gaijin42 and Agent 86. --Kerdezo (talk) 21:22, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Neologism which its coiner is trying to promote via Wikipedia. Not worth a redirect to heterosexism as it's an unlikely slip for "institutional heterosexism." –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 23:37, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Even the article's author is arguing for deletion, whether he/she knows it or not. EEng (talk) 01:49, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
