and '''Weak Delete''') - redirect to Republican In Name Only#Cuckservative. I !voted delete at the previous AfD. There was a flurry of coverage about the word (indeed not just using the word). The list leading up to the 8/14 AfD close included, among others, http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2015/08/13/what_the_rise_of_cuckservative_means_for_republican_politics.html Slate, http://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/behind-the-racist-hashtag-some-donald-trump-fans-love#.eaPDEDEv3 Buzzfeed, http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/aug/13/cuckservative-republicans-conservatives-jeb-bush The Guardian, http://www.salon.com/2015/08/09/the_secret_history_of_cuckservative_the_fetish_that_became_a_right_wing_rallying_cry/ Salon, http://www.salon.com/2015/08/03/the_gop_crack_up_continues_the_raging_civil_war_over_the_disgusting_%E2%80%9Ccuckservative%E2%80%9D_slur/ Salon twice, http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/28/cuckservative-is-a-gloriously-effective-insult-that-should-not-be-slurred-demonised-or-ridiculed/ Breitbart, http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/08/04/1408563/-The-Rise-of-Cuckservative-How-Conservatives-Adopt-Racism-Sexism-Let-Their-Freak-Flag-Fly Daily Kos, http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/07/28/twitter-s-right-wing-civil-war.html Daily Beast, http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/07/29/cuckservative-the-conservative-insult-of-the-month-explained/ Washington Post, https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2015/08/07/getting-cucky-brief-primer-radical-right%E2%80%99s-newest-%E2%80%98cuckservative%E2%80%99-meme SPLC, and http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/13/us/from-the-right-a-new-slur-for-gop-candidates.html?_r=0 The New York Times, but no indication of lasting significance. That argument could still be made, but when I search for sources with the start date set to 8/14 (end of the last AfD), I see the coverage continued, although it has tapered significantly. Hence the downgrade from delete to weak delete. There are the high-profile conservative and far-right sources, yes (for example, http://www.amren.com/news/2015/09/david-french-a-cuck-begs-for-mercy/ American Renaissance and http://www.nationalreview.com/article/424277/cuckservative-slur-must-stop National Review -- which also made it to the https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2015/09/18/what-its-like-to-be-a-white-conservative-on-twitter-when-you-have-a-black-child/ The Washington Post opinion page), but there's also http://www.bustle.com/articles/104371-what-does-cuckservative-mean-the-odd-new-word-describes-a-certain-kind-of-republican Bustle, http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/news/blog.html?b=news.nationalpost.com/news/world/the-rise-of-cuckservative-a-porn-inflected-slur-used-by-the-far-right-against-more-mainstream-republicans National Post, http://www.cjr.org/language_corner/cuckservative_meaning.php Columbia Journalism Review, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/donald-trump/11890531/The-white-supremacists-and-racists-flocking-to-Donald-Trump.html Telegraph, http://www.radixjournal.com/journal/2015/9/4/war-of-the-words Radix Journal, http://wnpr.org/post/nose-cuckie-monster-and-crimson-tide NPR (WNPR), and http://newsr.in/video/20150814/3200569/Cuckservative-The-Internet-Latest-Republican-Insult-Hits.htm NewsR. So this is a notable neologism, yes. But being notable does not mean it merits a stand-alone article (see ). RINO is still the better known term, so it makes more sense for that to exist than this one, but maybe the best approach would be to fold them into something like "Criticism between conservatives/Republicans" (which I didn't bother to wikilink because my wording is abysmal). &mdash
