• Redirect to Paul Krugman as ATD. Mccapra (talk) 05:36, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Question is this at all related to Pauper labor fallacy which is also currently up for deletion? Or are these completely separate topics? Vladimir.copic (talk) 08:12, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, both terms were coined by the same author and seemingly only used by them. BeŻet (talk) 10:26, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete or Redirect to Paul Krugman: not notable at all, term misleads readers as it's not what one considers a "fallacy", it's not widely used - in fact, it seems it's only used by Krugman himself. BeŻet (talk) 10:26, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Paul Krugman. He coined a term but no-one else has started to use it yet. Redirect and if it gains more traction at a later date it can then become an article. Neiltonks (talk) 12:32, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Kurgman. Fails GNG, but is not an unreasonable search term for someone who is reading his works. BilledMammal (talk) 02:09, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
