Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shovel ready
it's a fairly commonly used term and would fall into a similar category as the term ''"Chinese Century"'' (ironically also currently the subject of an fD|AfD). Is is used outside of the US, though this is not reflected in the article. In Australia, the term ''shovel-ready'' won the Macquarie Dictionary's ''Word of the Year'' for 2009 (see http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/shovel-ready-wins-macquaries-word-of-year/story-e6frf7l6-1225826522607 this article). It really shouldn't be redirected to Barack Obama just because he also used it once
