Diversity consciousness[edit]

While the book this term is from may be notable, the neologism itself is not. The only references I can find are the sale descriptions at various online book sites (for the book where the neologism is described), and the author's blog (who also appears related to the author of this article).

Keep This term is used in academia and diversity circles irrespective of the book. A link to some examples follow. These examples are from the world of business, academia, blogs, a textbook and general interest pages to show the variety of places the term is used.

Delete. No evidence that tthe term is widely used. Essentially it is blatant spam for a book by its author. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:59, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete per nomination; non-notable neologism, and.... Developing diversity consciousness is a lifelong, incremental process that requires an ongoing commitment to learning. Developing diversity consciousness can be broken down into six areas: 1) examining ourselves and our worlds, 2) expanding our knowledge of others and their worlds, 3) stepping outside of ourselves, 4) gauging the level of the playing field, 5) checking up on ourselves, and 6) following through. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:46, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
