Denim Revolution

del nonnotable yet neologism, unlike denim revolution, unrelated to Belarus. mikka (t) 03:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

• delete A multi-year search of an international news database shows that only one November 2005 article in The Economist magazine uses this phrase. The use of Denim as a symbol in Belarussian politics dates from September 2005 - this fact could be moved to the Belarus wikipedia page for the politics page. But this little known neologism should be deleted for now Bwithh 04:09, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to A Day of Solidarity with Belarus.
• delete original research --Ghirlandajo 09:17, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - [1], [2], [3]. Valid term used for topical story. Zordrac 19:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
  • The first of your links is to "premium content" that I can't view. The second is to a page that contains no mention of the word "denim" that I can find. The third is to a blog discussing current events in Canada, while the article is about Belarus. I have to say I remain unconvinced that this is not a neologism. — Haeleth Talk 22:46, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Searching Google for "Denim Revolution" + Delarus gets 29 hits, all but one on economist.com (and that last one is an accidental conjunction of article titles). Definitely non-notable outside of the pages of the Economist. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 22:32, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete - the Economist is a legitimate source, and its coinages can reasonably be expected to gain currency (no pun intended), but I see no evidence that this has happened yet. Perhaps the information should be merged as Bwithh suggests. — Haeleth Talk 22:46, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
