Green Banana[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No evidence of this neologism actually existing, outside of self-citing to the WP picture itself. All sources that use the word are unreliable (ie reddit and pintrest) and simply use the exact language as is used on the description page for the WP picture. I cannot find a single RS using the term "green banana" or "Central European megalopolis". I almost have to think the original picture is a HOAX that is being perpetuated by the internet. In any case, it fails WP:NOTNEO as not being used ANYWHERE ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 14:28, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: can't find any reliable sources for this at all. At best it is OR or TOOSOON. As a caveat, the related Blue Banana also struck me as highly dubious, especially since I supposedly live in it, but I did find some (pretty obscure) sources for it. I'm sure someone has used the term Green Banana but it clearly hasn't caught on in any meaningful way and this looks promotional if it isn't an outright hoax.

Yes. Agree with Lithopsian. I think this terminology is not quite notable yet for an encyclopedic entry. So, i'll also go with delete. M A A Z T A L K 04:25, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It could be redirected to Banana, where Green banana already points. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 22:20, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as above. Bondegezou (talk) 16:37, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and redirect to Banana. This is in the thin line between WP:OR and WP:HOAX; somebody made up the term but it isn't in use in any references I can find. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:43, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete concur with above. Searching on Central European megalopolis does show some usage of that term, particularly west-central and the Frankfurt airport. But no with Green Banana. MB 17:57, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. It is not even a megalopolis. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:59, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
