 * Is "Jewish lobby" a neologism within the meaning of WP:NEO? --John Nagle (talk) 20:18, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:POV excuses and double standards regarding what statements “about” the phrase can be used and what quotes can be used to illustrate statements “about” the phrase, thereby excluding common uses and viewpoints and making it impossible to have an article that truly is WP:NPOV.Carol Moore 21:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)Carolmooredc {talk}
 * If primary sources were to be excluded because of WP:NOR and WP:NEO, would a summary of these primary sources with citations to support their use be acceptable instead (e.g. see here). Jgui (talk) 00:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Can a claim of WP:NOR be used to block insertion of a quote from a RS even when the quote discusses the phrase (see here). Jgui (talk) 00:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
