For instance, "Articles should document in a non-partisan manner what reliable secondary sources have published about the subjects, and in some circumstances what the subjects have published about themselves." Looking at some articles who mention the Gore effect, it seems to be not really RS compliant and appears to be often written in a partisan manner. The entire thing is just opinion.

Keep This passes
WP:GNG as was previously established. I don't see how this relates to
WP:BLP, as it contains no unsourced attacks or negative comments directly against Al Gore. I'm also not sure which part of
WP:NOT would apply here. —Torchiesttalkedits16:12, 21 August 2015 (UTC)reply
Well, borderline propaganda
WP:NOT -- Advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment of any kind: commercial, political, scientific, religious, national, sports-related, or otherwise. Many of the articles which source the term use it in a sense to deny global warming or to make fun of the topic, i.e. the kind of reporting
here. And there aren't really a lot of RS reports. Thus, not notable.

Keep - This is in the vein of the
Pauli effect or the
Adam Cheng effect, and it has received coverage from several notable places. I don't think it particularly qualifies as a "BLP" problem since being known as a '
jinx' is neither particularly pejorative nor insulting. It's sort of like saying "I can't ever hit the slot machines when ol' Bob is around!" I think it should stay. As pointed out before, we have
Bushisms and other such articles in the same vein.

Keep - per arguments above: the argument from
WP:BLP doesn't apply here, and I'm struggling to see the argument from
WP:NOT. Though I see above that the proposer seems to be withdrawing the proposal.
