I can't find any reliable source that actually uses this term. Delete as per WP:V and WP:NOTNEO Rusf10 (talk) 23:03, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The links in the article seem reliable enough to pass muster. the folklore it originates in is established, and if the acronym is a learning device used in current education, that furthers the case. Keep, barring further developments. Scriblerian1 (talk) 23:37, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The two sources are acronymfinder.com and a blog. How are those acceptable sources?--Rusf10 (talk) 15:56, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

del nn piece of folklore, among zillions of smarticisms in popculture. Staszek Lem (talk) 23:52, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep – Though not covered by the New York Times there is enough secondary coverage to warrant a spot here at Wikipedia. However, would change the piece’s name to “MAMIL” (geographical acronym) in that just the Acronym “MAMIL” (Middle aged man in Lycra) is gaining quite a bit of attention in the cycling world and can see an article here in a very short time.ShoesssS ^Talk 15:11, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What sources cover this? Also, there's already a mamil article, it has nothing to do with this.--Rusf10 (talk) 15:54, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – My fault “Fat Finger”/typo……again apologies on MAMIL versus MIMAL…with regards to references a Google search does give a number of secondary sources, quality ahhhhh. That is way a Weak Keep. Thanks. ShoesssS ^Talk 18:50, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
