Protologism? (Deletion of Wikipedia article is being voted on) SemperBlotto 13:39, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
- I created the entry as part of the debate over deletion of a Wikipedia article which just defines the meanings of the term. Definitions of the meanings of terms belong in Wiktionary, not Wikipedia, if they belong anywhere. I don't think it is a protologism. At least the third sense of the term (belief that nations should discourage or prevent foreign ownership of local corporations) seems to have been quite widely used for some years. See The last bastion of corporate nationalism may finally be crumbling The Economist Mar 19th 2008. Oil-rich Norway has a history of corporate nationalism Reuters Apr 12, 2007. French corporate nationalism was amply demonstrated last year The Guardian 27 February 2006. But I don't feel strongly that the entry should be retained. Aymatth2 14:08, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
- Collocation can be found over 100 years, but our entry has too many definitions (5) each of which would need to be cited. I'd bet on most uses in Books or Scholar defining the term, possibly idiosyncratically. Uses in News might reflect a broader, less precise meaning. A problem is that, a priori, the referent of corporate could be "corporations", "organised groups" (fascism), "government", even "the citizenry". It seems SoP to me anyway. I'm inclined to leave it to someone else to clean up (merging definitions) and cite. DCDuring TALK 16:05, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
