I think this term should be undeleted. It was deleted via RFV in 2007 as uncited. The term is attested; as evidence, I provide google books:primitivization, finding more than 4000 hits. Particular hits: [1], [2], [3]. A generic definition could be "Making or becoming primitive." OTOH, the term sounds non-English to me, regardless of the Google book finds. --Dan Polansky (talk) 07:52, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Undelete. There are only 320 Google Books results, though (as you realize when you get to page 32 of the results). --WikiTiki89 07:56, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

I would think a speedy undelete is justified. The deletion rationale (Handful of citations suggest this may be limited to psychiatry?) seems invalid, at least by current standards. SpinningSpark 08:33, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Citations:primitivization is still red. Make it blue first. -- Liliana • 08:35, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Gotta go buy some paint. BRB. --WikiTiki89 08:40, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

Ok, it's blue now. --WikiTiki89 08:52, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

There. Have fun with the entry. -- Liliana • 09:08, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
