Who uses "gray"? According to Wiktionary, even the Brits use grey. [1] Can I change the title? II | ( t - c) 08:31, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
This is a tough call. A google search yields about the same number of results for both "gray literature" and "grey literature". It might be better to use one consistently throughout, but then add a section acknowledging the other convention. Thoughts anyone? ( Rboesch ( talk) 04:17, 9 September 2009 (UTC))
I think publications on the topic most often use grey instead of gray. My suggestion would be to change the title. Chicon59 ( talk) 01:53, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Parts of this read like a speech or essay, not an encyclopedia article. For example:
This should be fixed. -- Colapeninsula ( talk) 10:24, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
What does this have to do with grey literature? Perhaps that we shouldn't be looking at emails as sources? It's unclear. I plan to remove this from the section if there is no discussion. Buttonwillowite ( talk) 23:07, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Can somebody justify the inclusion of the picture of Admont Abbey library? Is it supposed to be a library holding a significantly high proportion of grey literature – in which case shouldn't that be explained?
I also have a problem with the inclusion of the title page of Kierkegaard's university thesis. I'm unfamiliar with the procedures for submitting theses in mid-C19 Denmark, but this looks to me like a published version, and not grey literature at all.

The result of the proposal was moved. -- BDD ( talk) 18:27, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
Gray literature → Grey literature – The "grey" spelling is widespread (perhaps dominant), and the body of the article has consistently used "grey" for some time without challenge. GrindtXX ( talk) 12:55, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
What is "malin-grey literature"? I was left hanging on that word.
The only things I could find out there were articles of people equally intrigued and doing the same Google-diving as I did (e.g., "Malin-grey, what are you?").
Apparently there once was a "Malin-grey literature" section in this entry. Why was it removed? Nevertheless, a self-reference alone won't do.
Is there a minimally trusted source regarding its definition? If not, I'd suggest we scrapped this obscure/enigmatic reference. Fstorino ( talk) 21:47, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
