Horrid entry, but any accurate definition is going to be SOP along the lines of "a democracy in which media are influential/hold a lot of power". No lemmings, no coalmine, no THUB. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 11:03, 27 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

I don't think I would understand what "media democracy" meant from its parts, so keep, assuming that the term genuinely exists (which it seems it does). However, the existing definition is largely unintelligible, and needs rewriting by someone who understands this concept. Mihia (talk) 13:25, 27 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Keep If the media held power, that would be a media state or something, not a democracy in the sense of the people holding power. DAVilla 12:33, 25 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
It could be argued that the fact that ‘democracy’ is used sarcastically in this phrase isn’t enough to make it idiomatic. Weak keep though (I’m a member of the ‘if in doubt, keep it’ school of thought.). Overlordnat1 (talk) 13:37, 25 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
