 * Transwiki to Wikitionary, as it is mostly a definition. Foxnpichu (talk) 10:25, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to persecution or genocide. The idea that this is a dictionary definition is nonsense.  The topic is not a word and the title is a phrase, not a word.  I suppose it's the usual confusion per WP:DICDEF, "One perennial source of confusion is that a stub encyclopedia article looks very much like a dictionary entry, and stubs are often poorly written;"  The concept appears in a variety of papers and so deletion is not appropriate when there are sensible alternatives: The slow-burning genocide of Myanmar's Rohingya;A slow industrial genocide;A slow-motion genocide;Slow genocide: The dynamics of violence and oppression in refugee camps and American ghettos; Last Exit from the Kalahari. The Slow Genocide of the Bushmen/Sa;Israel's Slow-Motion Genocide in Occupied Palestine. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:52, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * is a dictionary definition is nonsense - it is your idea is nonsense: dictionaries do cover phrases and whole sentences. "Appears in a variety of papers" is an invalid argument. Every phrase is in variety of papers. Also "another perennial source of confusion" is that you can make a wikipedia article from a bunch of usage examples. We do not have articles frog eaters or slow burning conflict, right? Staszek Lem (talk) 16:05, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, per Staszek to be honest. Foxnpichu (talk) 21:14, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Aha, there are wikipedians smarter than me, who created redirects from my red links. Well, I beat them with at least one :-) Staszek Lem (talk) 21:28, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Transwiki and delete. I agree, this is nothing more than a broad journalistic phrase rather than a specific sociopolitical concept. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 18:33, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to genocide. Obvious subtopic that has references which substantiate notability. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 21:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
 * There is no references, even for the definition. Mere word usage. Staszek Lem (talk) 00:09, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge to genocide per above Reywas92Talk 19:53, 1 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Merge to genocide because there's nothing in the article aside from a short definition. SacredSunflower (talk) 02:07, 3 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Transwiki and Merge. Would serve as a good mention in genocide as a perspective on the topic, and an interesting thing to define for Wikitonary. Otherwise, just a definition. Zkidwiki (talk) 21:14, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
