Porch sitting

Completely non-notable neologism, in addition to being original research. Reaper Eternal (talk) 17:30, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Popular culture-related deletion discussions. -- Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:09, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
- While the article in its current state is, no doubt, unsourced original research, I think there might be a topic here, given the community and cultural aspects. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time right now, but a quick search found this NPR story, and I wouldn't be surprised if Jane Jacobs wrote about it as well as part of a healthy neighborhood (I'll try to remember to check my copy later tonight). I also found this, but I don't know if that's a reliable source. Again, I just have a hunch and only had time for a quick search.

- Keep The topic is, in fact, completly notable being covered in books such as The Art of Porch Sitting: A Societal Barometer. The current title is not a neologism and this would not be a reason to delete even if it were. The claim of OR is unsupported by any details or evidence. The article just seems to need more work per our editing policy. Kudos to the creator for suggesting it. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:05, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- Delete Unsourced and OR. Potentially could be merged or redirected to people watching or as a section of porch. --Yaksar (let's chat) 13:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- The Google Scholar results show a number of relevant hits, though without access to the articles it's unclear how much information there is. But those hits do verify that this is a term in use, and a recognized cultural practice in the U.S.; the first hit states (in the results view): "Porch sitting is also a social act which influences the functioning of a larger social system. This porch sitting forms a "porch society'." There are also a few Scholar results discussing the "culture" of porch sitting as it relates to elderly care and well being. Google Books search also shows some hits, which at a minimum show that the term is not a neologism and that there is recognition of it as culturally significant, and it gives me hope that there is more out there. See also Urban stoop#Urban Stoops as a Social Device. So I'm going to say keep and mark for cleanup, expansion, references, etc. I'm thinking merging to porch would not be appropriate, given the scope of that article and the specificity of porch sitting as an (apparently) American cultural thing judging from the sources. postdlf (talk) 14:17, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
