One sentence "article" that could easily be covered elsewhere, though I have no idea where. I'd suggest draftifying, but hasn't been edited by the creator since the day it was created over 3 weeks ago. BilCat (talk) 18:33, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep notable topic as evidenced by the cited sources. AfD is not cleanup or a way to force article expansion. If you are proposing a merge this is the wrong process (t · c) buidhe 18:46, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the above. —QueenofBithynia (talk) 19:15, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A cursory glance at the sources suggest there is potential for far more than a single sentence on this topic, although this may not ultimately be the best location for it. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 04:00, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Draftify: Wikipedia is not a dictionary. –Ploni (talk) 02:46, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a political concept, it's perfectly apposite; there's a broad range of multi-disciplinary academic literature which discusses the phenomenon. That a dictionary and an encyclopedia will have similarly titled entries is obvious; the presence of Cloud, Water, Temperature, Economics or State etc does not make this encyclopaedia a dictionary.
