Does not appear to be a notable term: I have been unable to find any reliable or academic sources that use this "Green Banana" term in the context of megalopolises, only forums at best. There also doesn't seem to be an indication that the term is widely used either, unlike Blue Banana (indeed, the article itself admits that the term is "lesser known"), Considering green bananas (as in the fruit) exist, this could possibly work as a redirect to a banana-related article, though considering the current article text, a delete-redirect might be a better option here.

Note: the article was previously deleted per a deletion discussion, but based on a mirror on Deletedwiki, this article is a new version and not a recreation of the previous version; as such, G4 does not apply here. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 23:56, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete or move to draft; if the re-creator hasn't added any references it's not worth anyone's time to re-litigate this. Blue Banana is stupid but seems to have enough references, Golden Banana probably doesn't but I can't prove it. This is just a non-notable neologism, like the "Yellow Banana" (Paris-Warsaw) or the "Red Octopus" (I don't even know where). power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:08, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete - G4: Recreation of material deleted via a deletion discussion. No sources, none of the concerns are addressed, still dubious potential hoax. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 00:12, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Double Speedy Delete (see my PPS) as a hopelessly nonnotable neologism (sources are extremely scarse and nondefinitive). Assuming good faith, I may guess that the article was recreated due to prominent red green banana in "Megalopolis" the previous deleter failed to remove. I removed it], together tith the surrounding unreferenced stuff (tagged since 2017). So I guess this time the article will be gone for good, I hope.

PS Despite allegedly covering a big chunk of Poland, there is no Polish equivalent, "Zielony banan", in use. Staszek Lem (talk) 00:52, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PPS A wasted a bit of by curiosity charge and IMO it looks like we have a mild case of "citogenesis" here: green banana was fed to Megalopolis in April 2013 by an anon IP. And it appears all references in the outer world, including this supposedly reliable one are based on various versions of Wikipedia "Megalopolis" article.

Speedy Delete Just like that last time; nothing has changed. MB 04:32, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as above and as before. Bondegezou (talk) 11:08, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, of course, and with haste; otherwise, "Keep" as a useful example of how articles should NOT be created in Wikipedia. As it stands, it has no sources, contains only personal opinion, reads like a hurried essay, offers a personal viewpoint, refers to a non-notable subject, and even contains a nonsensical map. Its creator simply could not care less. -The Gnome (talk) 16:24, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not meet notability requirements. Warm Regards, ZI Jony (talk) 21:11, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as before. The discussion confirmed it did not meet notability requirements, and new content has done nothing to allay or disprove those concerns and arguments. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 21:30, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
