Unnotable field of study. Phearson (talk) 18:06, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. Needs to be improved as well. Wilbysuffolk (talk) 18:10, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as not notable. There appears to be exactly one Google Book hit mentioning the word "oligarchology". Surprisingly, only 7 Google hits. Hyperdoctor Phrogghrus (talk) 19:44, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable neololgism. I'm somewhat surprised it wasn't a word coined in a bar last evening, actually... Carrite (talk) 19:49, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep The article is most definitely notable. There are numerous authors and broadcasters that can be considered as oligarchologists (Alex Jones, David Icke, Alan Watt etc.) The article needs to be expanded. Deleting the article will not further this goal and will diminish wikipedia as a result. Flaviusvulso (talk) 21:46, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's all very well to say that various people "can be considered as" oligarchologists; what is needed is evidence of use and discussion of the term to satisfy WP:NEO: "To support an article about a particular term or concept we must cite reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term or concept, not books and papers that use the term."
