 * Delete, sheer private neologism with not a single hit in the literature. (On an amused note, the original "Zimbabwean student" managed to successfully morph into a plain "researcher" along the way - congratulations!) -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:09, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, as per my comments on the talk page. Mainly, there are no references to this term being used anywhere other than in copies of the article. Aluxosm (talk) 11:27, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * These are the comments in question:"This appears to be an unfortunate, and potentially upsetting story. After trying find any mention of 'Pileus area index' that wasn't taken from this article and coming up empty handed, I looked into the person who apparently coined the term. There was indeed someone called Asher Tarivona Mutsengi who did go to UT Austin, but he was only there for a short time and there was nothing to suggest that this term made it out of the university. Unfortunately most of the references I found with his name on them were obituaries. Asher died in an farming accident on the 27th July 2009. Finally I thought about contacting the original author of this article to see if they could be of help before it was deleted. However, looking into their edit history, it's pretty obvious that the creator was Asher himself... Aluxosm (talk) 21:39, 17 September 2020 (UTC)" I hope you don't mind my copying them here – the reason I'm doing it is that if this AfD results in deletion, the comments will not be available on the talk page and transparency will be lost. Feel free to remove this comment in its entirety if you think I'm out of line here. TompaDompa (talk) 23:20, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
