Fails notability. Insufficient sources. Was not able to find when doing WP:BEFORE.

 * Keep. There are already a great many references in the article that explain this term's notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 18:09, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Red Diapers: Growing Up in the Communist Left – the phrase does not seem notable independently of the book which invented it. The article contains a total of four sentences including the lede. Insufficient number of sources, and of the present ones, only LA Progressive (not a notable publication) touches on the phrase; The New York Times mentions it only in its headline, Marin Independent Journal is about a book and its author, the other two references are about books and are used to source just their existence. The further reading section seems like a general collection of everything else that merely mentions it. Categories and interwiki link can be kept on the redirect. –Vipz (talk) 11:43, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. The term "red diaper baby" has been around long before Red Diapers: Growing Up in the Communist Left was published. See this Google Scholar search. As well, see this magazine article from 1989, for example:    Other notable uses of the term include


 * If that's the case, then delete? Significant coverage of the phrase itself establishes notability, not "notable use" for whatever purposes they use it for. –Vipz (talk) 06:41, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   05:20, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BEFORE: there are plenty of sources. I added one. Bearian (talk) 18:02, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. The page needs cleanup, but the sources are plenty sufficient to establish notability. Kire1975 (talk) 05:44, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep. Notable concept. pburka (talk) 23:57, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
