Subprime Nation

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

Non-notable neologism. Only two of the sources cited in the article even use the phrase "subprime nation". One of them is the website that seems to have invented the term, and the other is a post on a political site that uses it in a way completely different from the definition given in the article.

 * Delete per nom.  K50   Dude   ROCKS!   20:41, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete this neologism clearly fails to meet the notability guideline and should be deleted. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:05, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep this term is in use in Ireland and is spreading. I will add additional links asap. ConemaraMan 09:19, 5 January 2009 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ConnemaraMan (talk • contribs)

 * Keep Mia Culpa, I forgot to sign the last post properly. ConnemaraMan (talk) 11:04, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep I came across this term in mid-2008 in both general conversations regarding the financial issues facing Ireland and in the Press (the Irish Times???). It certainly describes the nature of the issue succinctly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DMurphy2901 (talk • contribs) 12:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. In so far as the article actually relates to "subprime nation" as a term, the sources provide little more than tangential coverage. Most of the article is actually an original-research summary of the current financial situation here in Ireland. Stifle (talk) 14:02, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep This is one of the most accurate articles i have came across on the sudden and apparently 'unforeseen' failure of the Irish economic model, which was fuelled by speculation of property developers. Both the Banks and the Government effectively wrote developers a blank cheque, the cost of which will now be picked up by the taxpayer while paying a ridiculous amount in mortgage repayments. Expect to hear much more of the term in the near future.Moytura (talk) 19:42, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete There doesn't seem to be enough sourced material to warrent an article. --Stormbay (talk) 21:45, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment It appears that the only edit of DMurphy2901 is to this article, if that has any bearing on this discussion. --Stormbay (talk) 18:08, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Moytura also joined us for a first time to discuss this article. --Stormbay (talk) 22:47, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - clear example of a neologism and original research. Terraxos (talk) 02:30, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Additionally, as pointed out by Stormbay, all the users who have argued to keep this article registered their accounts within the last five days, and none have made any significant edits unrelated to this article. Seems like an attack of the WP:SPAs. Terraxos (talk) 02:33, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable neologism. Article content is a very good example of WP:SYNT, used to give a non-notable subject the veneer of respectability. Abecedare (talk) 02:39, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
