Weak Keep – Though not covered by the New York Times there is enough secondary coverage to warrant a spot here at Wikipedia. However, would change the piece’s name to “MAMIL” (geographical acronym) in that just the Acronym “MAMIL” (Middle aged man in Lycra) is gaining quite a bit of attention in the cycling world and can see an article here in a very short time.ShoesssSTalk15:11, 20 March 2019 (UTC)reply
Comment – My fault “Fat Finger”/typo……again apologies on MAMIL versus MIMAL…with regards to references a Google search does give a number of secondary sources, quality ahhhhh. That is way a Weak Keep. Thanks. ShoesssSTalk18:50, 20 March 2019 (UTC)reply
Delete Neologism; sources are not reliable. While not necessarily dispositive in and of itself, I will observe that having lived in the area for many years and spending a good deal of time studying the geography of Mississippi River basin, I have never encountered the term.
