Comment it is NOT a neologism, Chambers Dictionary, 1983, has "'kakistocracy', noun, government by the worst. From the Greek 'kakistos', superlative of 'kakos', bad, and 'kratos', power." The OED has examples back to 1829. The joke about GWB is weak though. No objection to deleting on grounds that it is a dictionary definition, but please check your facts before claiming neologism or bollocks. DuncanHill 13:41, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the correction. I could remove the comment regarding GWB, but then the page is still just a dictionary definition at that point, which might merit a merge into Wiktionary. Wildthing61476 13:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The article as first presented was just another attack George Bush page. That material has been edited out to leave a dictionary definition of a word. Nick mallory 14:33, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Note- There already is a definition at Wiktionary. The page was transwikied before and recreated. Which is why I think it should be protected against recreation Lurker 14:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I just saw that actually regarding Wiktionary, delete and slat at this point. Wildthing61476 14:38, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to George W. Bush. Delete unless significantly expanded. More a term of abuse than a notable concept, really, to the best of my knowledge. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:35, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or send over to Wiktionary if not already there. I agree with DuncanHill that it's not a neologism as I've seen it in lists in encyclopedias and strange word books but there is not enough here for an article. Keresaspa 15:50, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
