Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alluvial desert
There is a recent source listed in the article, so it appears the term is in use.  I also found the term in use http://books.google.com/books?id=yGCwnl5xCgcC&pg=PA295&lpg=PA295&dq=%22alluvial+desert%22&source=web&ots=5A2EGC53Yz&sig=stMF2-1twB_ZVzyer1XLMV5ro1k here http://www.unep-wcmc.org/sites/pa/0186w.htm here http://www.wilderness.net/index.cfm?fuse=NWPS&sec=wildView&wname=Organ%20Pipe%20Cactus%20Wilderness&error=404 here, http://oi.uchicago.edu/research/pubs/ar/92-93/nippur.html here, http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Baluchistan,_British_India here, http://www.ci.twentynine-palms.ca.us/Cleghorn_Lakes_Wilderness.84.0.html here, http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2003/apr/17/lastword.research here, http://www.sacredspiral.com/reference/masks/legend.htm here, http://www.pj-online.com/Editorial/20030419/comment/onlooker.html here and http://www.anthro.psu.edu/courses/anth009old/009%20mt2%202007%20key-1.pdf here.   The last source is an answer to a question on an anthropology exam given earlier this year at Penn State University..   "Alluvial desert soil" is simply soil found in an alluvial desert.  Personal confusion does not outweigh
