Bringing this to AfD following declining a speedy for hoax. There are three pages of ghits - but a large number are wiki-type hits and not reliable. And three pages only wouldn't be much for a really notable subject. I feel that this needs some discussion. Peridon (talk) 21:33, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete looks like a hoax to me, nothing in any reliable sources. MB 21:55, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as hoax. I find no sources which don't look like WP mirrors. In particular, there is no mention in Google Scholar. The article author was an SPA who edited only this article, on only two days, and never returned to add sources or defend it - a common pattern for hoaxers.

Quiz sites often derive info from Wikipedia - these days, what doesn't? (probably the Britannica, but you never know...) Peridon (talk) 10:17, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. (edit conflict) Examining the ghits, every single one of them is a overt or disguised copy from WP. The ones labelled study guide are apparently automatically sourced from WP except quizlet which seems to be manually constructed from various sources. The chances of the term being genuine is extremely low. DGG ( talk ) 02:30, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
