The result was Keep. Although probably a neologism, the majority of the respondents here opined that the term has been the subject of significant non-trivial coverage in independent sources, and note that such sources are cited in the article. As well, the content of the article appears to be verifiable in reliable secondary sources. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 00:49, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Non-notable neologism. Prod contested by author. --Finngall talk 22:30, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

This is a term that refers to a generational move. I have used citations from various sources, please let me know how i can better improve the article so it will not be deleted. AccountStaff (talk) 22:40, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep. Article's sources establish that the term and concept are notable. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 02:16, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete I've heard of the term before, but I've also heard the concept called several other things. As of right now, it seems to be a WP:NEO Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 16:55, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Wikipedia can have articles about neologisms if there are "reliable sources specifically about the term", and there are at least those:[http://www.gazette.com/articles/freedman_25122___article.html/career_nonprofit.html] [http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB119515599441894584.html]. I think it has widespread use [http://www.encore.org/news/encore-career-survey-rea] [http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-encore-career.htm], widespread enough [http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&num=50&q=%22Encore%20career%22] to warrant an article. I'm more worried that the article is a WP:DICDEF at the moment, but think that it can be expanded to a useful article.
    Keep. --AmaltheaTalk 19:35, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
