Yellow scholarship

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Dictionary definition of dubious validity. The source cited in the article appears to be the only instance where the term has been used; I could find no other examples in a search. It has certainly not passed into the language or become a common expression. PROD was removed by the author without comment. MelanieN (talk) 22:54, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete After sifting through all the sources that are talking about yellow colored scholarship papers, I was only to find a few sources that actually seem to be referring to this term and the mention is in a single sentence reference. Definitely not enough for anything approaching notability. Silver  seren C 00:29, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Provisional delete - appears to fail WP:42, and WP:NEO. Bearian (talk) 20:43, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. The article's sole source is a self-published webpage by Matthew Giobbi that not only blatantly declares the term to be a neologism ("I propose the term yellow scholarship..."), but links to the article here on Wikipedia as its footnoted source. I was able to find a 1977 use of the term in a slightly different context in the Canadian film magazine Take One, but there's certainly nothing like sufficient use of the phrase to warrant either an article or a merger to yellow journalism.

 * Delete This is similar to Articles for deletion/Quackademic medicine. Wikipedia articles are about concepts, not terms, and the concept behind this term is discussed elsewhere. This idea could be part of a main article, but it should be deleted from being its own article until and unless other sources make this concept stand alone.
