Neologism that was coined by the article's author (Joseph Goddard) and only appears to be used by him. Even the referenced encyclopedia entry was written by him. Logan Talk Contributions 19:50, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

- Speedy delete I have tagged it with A11 as WP:MADEUP by user citing himself. No explanation how the hell this is different from a suburb or exurb. Reywas92 Talk 00:46, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
- I've just declined the speedy. Here's two sources:
https://sk.sagepub.com/reference/urbanhistory/n316.xml
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Being-American-Edge-Metropolitan-1945-2010/dp/1137020792 enough to show it's not made up. Whether it's notable enough is another matter, but it doesn't meet the speedy criteria.

- These are literally "by Joseph Goddard" the same User:Joseph Goddard who created this article in 2006 before he even happened to have these published so yes it is just made up and covered by no one else but whatever. Reywas92 Talk 22:07, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- speedy delete this is all circular because the sources saw it on Wikipedia. This is made up by the creator to promote himself. Praxidicae ( talk) 15:07, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
- delete I don 't think this really qualifies for speedy, but given the date of the last AfD it's apparent that this is an idea which has not caught on. Almost all GScholar hits are from Goddard's own works, and the others appear to be passing references or possibly even from larger works in which Goddard wrote a section.

- Delete I don't think this qualifies for a speedy either, but it does appear to be a non-notable neologism based on my own before search which echoes that of the nom's and Mangoe's. SportingFlyer T· C 07:13, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
