Microfederalism[edit]

Microfederalism gets 10 ghits. No sources, nothing.

nn political ideology. OSborn^arf_{contributionatoration} 05:25, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete several of those 10 ghits seem to be re-inventing the word; haven't checked JSTOR but see no evidence of WP:N. JJL (talk) 05:32, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, probably falls under WP:NEO, but non-notable enough even if it doesn't. Lankiveil (talk) 06:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC).[reply]
delete as non notable idea and a neologism, Nuttah (talk) 09:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete google books returned 4 hits and google scholar gave 5. The hits on both searches do not discuss the ideology.--Lenticel ^(talk) 09:57, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above comments. STORMTRACKER 94 12:58, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete One of those "it could happen" type things. It's not very likely that a government, that has the power to abolish states, would then redistribute sovereign power to "very small, local political units". Dictatorships tend not to work that way.

Delete. per nom. No prejudice against the concept should it someday become notable, but that has yet to happen. --Blanchardb-^{MeMyEarsMyMouth}-timed 18:18, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The topic is one that is discussed in social science circles. Admittedly, what is written so far is more of a dictionary definition than an encyclopaedic topic but that doesn't merit it for deletion: it simply needs expanding to better explain the concept and distinguish it from, and parallel it to, other forms of decentralisation, such as the break-up of the USSR. --Interesdom (talk) 16:24, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
