A neologism that exists, but not finding significant coverage in reliable sources that discuss it in detail. Rather, sources simply use the term in the context of other topics. As such, the topic fails WP:NEO. Northamerica1000(talk) 08:22, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Is it sufficiently different from Men in Black that it couldn't be redirected/mentioned there? I know that theoretically Men in Black can't apply to women, but in practice it sometimes is. --Colapeninsula (talk) 17:10, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Insufficiently widespread neologism. At first I was going to !vote for a redirect to Men in Black but actually hitting Google for an exact phrase search reveals that the vast majority of the 'mentions' are slurped mirrors of the article's text. Which makes sense since it has existed since 2004. Nuke it. §FreeRangeFrog 22:16, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I would think this is the gender neutral version of Men in Black. Unfortunately, Google News, Books and main search engine haven't provided anything useful or results that are not Wikipedia mirrors. Although this is a plausible term, there isn't anything to support an article. SwisterTwister talk 21:51, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Black helicopter, which seems to be a more widely used term for this. Stuartyeates (talk) 18:40, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
