Essentially about one article by one not particularly lobbying organisation. The concept seems as though it ought to be noteworthy, and an international rather than UK-only phenomenon, but not on the evidence of what we have here.

I'd agree, except that a Google search also reveals an article in the Independent from 2015
[1]; they also used the term in another article in 2011; the Guardian used it in 2005
[2], which would be less convincing of persistent notability given that it was only coined in 2004. The Daily Mail used the term in 2010
[3] and while we do not regard the Mail as a reliable source (i.e. we don't believe that what it writes is true) it is undoubtedly a major national newspaper, so the fact it writes about a subject is supportive of the subject being notable. Given that a number of national newspapers have used the term over an extended period, it's got to be a keep.

Keep - I'm finding enough out there from a basic search to support the notability of Clone town. For example these journal articles:
[4],
[5]; coverage in this book:
[6]; BBC
[7], Guardian
[8], etc.
