Securitainment

The sources included in the article are insufficient to establish the notability of the idea. Kevin (talk) 03:00, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. One man's label for a bloody obvious idea that existed long enough before he came up with a clever non-notable neologism: a form of popular culture that combines entertainment with instruction in managing the risks of the post-9/11 era, and which typically deals with anti-terrorism or military activities.  Does this mean that if I go out and buy a bag of 100 green plastic toy soldiers and glue them to the hood of my car, I'm helping win the war on terror? - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 19:06, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. A Google Scholar search for "Securitainment" reveals a number of results, most are in German, so this article needs a German speaker to go and have a look at these sources and import relavent material. See also [URL http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Reichertz] in the German-language wikipedia, where "Securitainment" is part of a title of one of his works listed.

 * Comment. The German citations appear to relate to a journal that itself bears the name "Securitainment", and which seems to be about "media as agents of inner security".  The subject of this article is quoted above; apparently it was planned to be, at least at first, a list of TV shows and films with police, military, or anti-terrorist themes.  This article mentions no German sources, and credits the invention of the word to a professor in Australia.  It is not obviously clear that the two neologisms are the same thing.  Any deletion should be without prejudice to the creation of an article about the German idea, whatever it is about. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 19:29, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
