Jacques Lacan's use of the term predates Raud's, and is probably better known. This article has only a primary source and shows no evidence that the term as developed by Raud is in actual use. Mduvekot (talk) 17:49, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to lack of citation, whether said citation be for accuracy or notability. Even with evidence that the terms was indeed created by Raud, it would still be considered non-notable by wikipedia's standards unless two non-trivial secondary sources could be provided about the term itself (as opposed to articles about Raud that mention the term). -Markeer 19:01, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Concur with Nom and User:Markeer. phrase gets thousands of hits in books and articles, but scanning the first couple of pages of a gBooks search shows such varying uses in diverse fields that I am uncertain whether it is a term of art or simply two common English words that can convey a range of meanings. Either way, I don't see haw we can keep an article that may well be misleading in attributing a meaning and origin so firmly based on such paltry sourcing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:32, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
