I am not sure if this should be deleted or not, however I still nominate it b/c: a) It is presented using a lot of scientific speech without including scientific sources b) It reads like a political essay, c) sources include YouTube and tumblr pages and d) the user who created this article has also created Special snowflake, which is also up for deletion.

- Keep - with Anticla rutila's fixes it does not read like essay anymore, and topic seems to have sufficient notability.--Staberinde (talk) 15:38, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'm not sure that the reasons given for deletion are particularly valid. AfD is not cleanup, and at any rate the article appears to have been improved somewhat since nomination. Nor is infrequency of use necessarily the same as non-notability: probably "subaltern studies" is not a widely used phrase, but it is notable. Potentially one source which isn't in the current article is this from the Washington Post. There's also this book (if the Gbooks link doesn't work, it's Hancock 2011, Solidarity Politics for Millenials: A Guide to Ending the Oppression Olympics); and potentially this...

- Thank you for those leads Cecil, I read through each one. I introduced an observation from Ange-Marie Hancock's book. Anticla rutila (talk) 12:56, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This article should definitely be improved; at the moment both knowyourmeme.com and Geek Feminism Wiki are explaining the concept much better than this article. That said, there can be no doubt that "oppression olympics" is by now a well-established term among activists and scholars in the humanities and social sciences. 58,000 Google hits, including 374 in Google Scholar and 672 in Google Books should put notability beyond reasonable doubt. --Jimmy Fleischer (talk) 18:51, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
