Non-notable neologism. An article on the same topic was previously deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Judicial shamanism. It was not a notable concept then, and nothing has changed since. The only mentions of the phrase 'judicial shamanism' that I can find are in the work of the person who came up with it, Stanislovas Tomas; it does not seem to be mentioned in any independent sources whatsoever.

• Delete. This concept, in itself, does not appear to be notable. The consensus last time around (14 January 2009, precisely 1 year ago) was to redirect the title to Judicial activism. This was reverted a month later, and it's been in limbo since, with the only substantive edits being to add sources from Stanislovas Tomas, who is not independent of the subject (having coined the term, apparently). A redirect makes sense, I think, but if there isn't consensus for it, we need to delete the article. UltraExactZZ ^Said ~ Did 17:43, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, original research, self-promotion, neologism, not a useful redirect to Judicial activism. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:15, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
