Neologism coined by one person and not notable elsewhere. Fails general notability guideline, no independent sources referring to this concept. Gccwang (talk) 08:09, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator in favor of redirect, based on discussion and new sources found by Tokyogirl79. Gccwang (talk) 16:59, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Promotion of a book that used this term in its title. Only reference is the book itself. Clever attempt to get single book into WP. LaMona (talk) 14:25, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete—Certainly no notability as a neologism. The book by the same title has attracted some amount of notice, but for a topic that falls into WP:MEDRS I'd like to see more than reviews in blogs. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 17:02, 29 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I'm leaning towards a merge/redirect in this instance. I'm finding some coverage for his overall ideas, but not a lot of coverage for the specific term per se. There is some coverage like this article, but not enough to where I think that this would merit anything other than a subsection in the author's article.

• Redirect to Jeffrey_M._Schwartz#Brain_lock. I actually did manage to find quite a bit of coverage for the term as a whole. It's sort of used to refer to Schwartz's concept of OCD as well as the treatment plan as a whole, so it's not entirely a neologism. In any case, I found some fairly extensive mention of the term in various books and/or extensively used as a reference so it is worth a mention somewhere. ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]) I'd personally recommend a redirect to the author's page over keeping the article separate, as there's not a huge-huge amount of coverage. It could and should be more fleshed out by someone more familiar with the concept as a whole, though. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:11, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

* Comment A redirect would be reasonable as this is primarily Schwartz's concept. Gccwang (talk) 18:05, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Jeffrey_M._Schwartz#Brain_lock per Tokyogirl79's source finds. The term is verifiable but I haven't found any further RS to demonstrate notability independent of the author. It is a reasonable search term, so a redirect is warranted. --Mark viking (talk) 18:32, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• A redirect makes sense to me too, I guess. --Gccwang (talk) 03:12, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
