Fails WP:DICDEF, specifically the part about Wikipedia not being a phrasebook. The article does not present an explanation about the context of the phrase, also leading it to fail WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Sources appear to not be about the phrase itself, but using it, leading to concerns the article is WP:SYNTH. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 02:39, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: per nom. The article reads more like an essay, and is confused about its scope. Is it about the phrase, or the idea? DICDEF does say:
In other cases, a word or phrase is often used as a "lens" or concept through which another topic or closely related set of topics are grouped, seen or renamed.
The sources include a Yale University Press book, but with the other sources being editorials and marginally related think pieces, I don't think it passes GNG. TryKid [dubious – discuss] 09:25, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
