nn unsourced neologism. Werdna648T/C\@ 22:48, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. I'm sure Oprah has many effects and effects, but this isn't a dictionary. Brian G. Crawford 23:01, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom.--Fuhghettaboutit 23:28, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete neologism. Bobby1011 00:28, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Tons of sources for this and well-known phenomenon since she started her book club. [1]. -- JJay 01:43, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge with Oprah's Book Club. I think if it caused notable, verifiable economic impacts, it might have a place in Wikipedia, otherwise doesn't belong in its own article. Peter Grey 04:43, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into Oprah's Book Club. Even if effect may not exist, the claims of it are widespread. Not neologism; has been out there for years. Google for "oprah effect" bestseller will produce many sources. Henning Makholm 06:26, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge into Oprah's Book Club. As per Peter and Henning. Jfingers88 23:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge Per above. Nigelthefish 15:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per above. Royboycrashfan 22:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge per above. I've personally read this many times before in major publications; it isn't an unnotable neologism. Crystallina 03:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge for the reasons listed above. CloudNine 10:30, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
