Affluentization

This term is non-notable, and only appears in google in wikipedia mirrors, and nowhere in google scholar or isiknowledge databases. Thus I cannot find reliable sources for this article, which at present is not sourced at all. I checked the british spelling "affluentisation" as well- it only appears in an off-site essay written by the originator of this article. Skinwalker 16:52, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It seems made up, but even if it's not, it's certainly not notable. And in addition to that, if it were a fairly notable term, it would still only merit a merge into Social mobility. Calgary 17:04, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, unless sources can be found for the term, other than Wikipedia. I did a web search, and found few original articles on the "topic." If someone actually used this term in a book or something, then maybe the question would be more about its notability than its existence. — Chris53516 ^(Talk) 17:08, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
