Paradise Tax

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to be a neologism that has not gained wide usage. A Google search returns few examples of the phrase being used. Lincolnite (talk) 16:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Keep It seems to be a notable enough concept/expression. Steve Dufour (talk) 17:58, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This term is very popular in Hawaii (as mentioned) and is even used in local Newspapers, and in a few books about higher prices in hawaii, I think everyone from hawaii knows this term. On google I found quite a couple artikels, to support that this term exist. [] Superwolfi (talk) 16:24, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 * stub,rewrite,keep Term is not a dicdef and is of some local note. I personally never heard it (in 4 years of living there), but then again I'm a Haole.  I guess I'll just stub and rewrite. :) Protonk (talk) 05:36, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment A note on sources. Randall Roth isn't just zis guy, you know?  He is a fairly well respected and influential writer and scholar in Hawaii.  Hawaii is VERY insular and topics of note there (like the Bishop trust debacle) will largely not filter out to the mainland.  I can't see this article getting beyond the stub stage without some new sources or some OR, but (IMO) it should be fine as it is now. Protonk (talk) 05:48, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
