Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Democratization of knowledge
a brief search shows many hits in google scholar: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&source=hp&q=%22democratization+of+knowledge%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=ws and books: http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&source=hp&q=%22democratization%20of%20knowledge%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=sp, and even some news hits: http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22democratization+of+knowledge%22&cf=all.  This is clearly a mainstream concept and much has been written about it in reliable sources: very solidly |notable.  People arguing to delete seem to be arguing about the current status of the page; if the page needs improvement then the page needs improvement.  I see no question about notability here.  Also, I added a source and comment connecting this topic to eBird; this issue has been discussed in the context of science, with eBird as an exapmle of it
