- Keep. Tons of sources for this and well-known phenomenon since she started her book club. [1]. -- JJay 01:43, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- Merge with Oprah's Book Club. I think if it caused notable, verifiable economic impacts, it might have a place in Wikipedia, otherwise doesn't belong in its own article. Peter Grey 04:43, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
- Merge into Oprah's Book Club. Even if effect may not exist, the claims of it are widespread. Not neologism; has been out there for years. Google for "oprah effect" bestseller will produce many sources. Henning Makholm 06:26, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

22:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC) - Merge per above. I've personally read this many times before in major publications; it isn't an unnotable neologism. Crystallina 03:24, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
