Neologism, backed by only by a blog post. Protocop (talk) 03:30, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, no evidence that this neologism has any currency. --Stormie (talk) 03:55, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete For the word, we have a wiktionary article. For the concept, we have Anti-Americanism. Estemi (talk) 05:27, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- There are several results on Google News, so although the word is not frequently used it is more than a neologism. Some of these suggest it is not exactly the same as Anti-Americanism, however I don't know if the definitions have changed recently. As the article is unsourced and gives no more information than a dictionary definition, I suggest a redirect to wikt:Americanophobia. —Snigbrook 14:28, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Anti-Americanism, just to keep it within Wikipedia. MuZemike 20:02, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - original research. Although there is no doubt the concept of irrational hatred of the US and its citizens exists, the term used here is a neologism and the content is entirely unsourced, save for a weblog that the article seems to be directed at pushing traffic to. I don't see the need for a redirect as there is little evidence that the term is in current use. -- Mattinbgn\talk 01:33, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
