The article is simply false. The term "cultural ecosystem", particularly with reference to "cultural ecosystem services", appears in scads of papers and published sources before 2013, the year when the article claims it was first used, and the article focuses entirely on the meaning attributed to it by a single person despite its tremendously broader use. If anyone is using term to connote the specific concept that Álvaro Pastor had in mind when using it in 2013, that specific concept appears far from notable insofar as the article sources it only to him, and Google returns no hits at all (other than two Revolvyy blurbs) for "cultural ecosystem" "alvaro pastor".

• Delete It seems a bit unusual to argue that a page should be deleted because there are too many sources available, but that is actually the case here. A Google Scholar search finds over 1500 hits for the phrase "cultural ecosystem" prior to 2010, as one would expect for a term that is easy to coin in many contexts and use with a low degree of formality. I doubt there is any one single meaning that can be attributed to it, and there is no indication that Álvaro Pastor's definition stands out among the possibilities.

• Delete The claim that the term was introduced by Álvaro Pastor is central to the article and demonstrably wrong. Vexations (talk) 16:08, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
