God, that has got to be one of the lamest deletion discussions in history. "It's not relevant because its just a passing term that everyone will forget about in a month" ffs.

Just a killjoy. They are an accomplished wikipedian, but sometimes as they become more senior, it gets to their head. Most people are voting to keep it
