Economic Militarism[edit]

Seemingly neologistic term that doesn't google, and the article seems a bit propagandistic in nature. Keep or cut? Radiant! 15:58, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)

Delete, seems to be a neologism as it only gets 50 Google hits. - SimonP 17:02, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Madeup neologism. —Lowellian (talk) 22:21, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
Plainly not a neologism. The Google hits contain several references to a book called Germany Rampant: A Study in Economic Militarism written in 1939, for example. The Google hits look fairly scholarly. Perhaps just replace with a stub? Pcb21| Pete 22:44, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
If it's a real term then redirect to war economy. Gazpacho 00:14, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Well, I guess nobody can really call it a neologism if it's been around since 1939, but even so, it seems to barely be used outside of that one book (and its article). I wonder if there's a term for words that never took off... "nonstarterism" perhaps. In any case, I support a redirect as above. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:15, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)
Keep but rewrite economic militarism has been used in a few generally read articles. Stirling Newberry 17:52, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC) (Rewrite attempted).
