The use of this term to refer to these specific three items appears to be original research, backed up only by self-published sources. The PROD-tag was removed by someone who claims to have seen this term used in "lots of sources", but unless they are cited rather than vaguely mentioned in an edit-summary, it is clearly non-notable. ╟─Treasury Tag►consulate─╢ 08:03, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Here's twelve sources that use the term, from 1959 to 2007, with all different authors and in different fields: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] From 1971 1959 [8] [9] and [10]. No, not all these should be added to the article, but the term is in broad common parlance. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 09:13, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
