Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New Great Game (2nd nomination)
This is a catchphrase that, from what I can tell, is used by one author (Lutz Kleveman) and has been copied to a minor degree by a few other journalists.  Other than the one book, there is nothing to substantiate the assertion that there really is an "Great Game" and even Kleveman's book uses the phrase more as a rhetorical device than as a historical concept.  (The Rashid usage also seems to me to be a passing rhetorical device, not a definition of a core concept.)  The synthesis here is just that, a |prohibited synthesis that does not belong in the encyclopedia.  Note:  This page was given the benefit of doubt in the last deletion discussion.  The core problems identified during the last deletion discussion remain unresolved a year later.  This is a strong indicator to me that they can not be resolved and weighs heavily in my opinion that the benefit of doubt is no longer appropriate
