[edit] NIMTO

Original research, neologism, previously deleted. D-Rock 19:39, 12 December 2005 (UTC) Not a neologism, see below. D-Rock 23:42, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy delete as a recreation of a previously deleted article. See Special:Undelete/NIMTO. JoaoRicardo ^talk 20:25, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I thought about speedying the article, but it's been around for a couple of weeks and has been edited by multiple editors. D-Rock 21:21, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• NIMTO is not a neologism as it has been in use since at least 1999 when it appeared in a learned journal published by the UN (IAEA). IF anyone wants it I can dig out the exact reference. Also in the waste disposal community it is already well known, http://www.ciwmb.ca.gov/LEACentral/Acronyms/Part2.htm.
  • Added above site as reference on NIMTO page. D-Rock 23:39, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Also, I'll assume good faith and remove the neologism claim. D-Rock 23:42, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

In some ways I would say that terms like NIMTO and CATNIP are part of 'gallows hummor' which exist in some parts of the waste, chemical and nuclear industries. Cadmium 22:58, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• Also the NIMTO page brings together several ideas which together make something which I think will be interestingCadmium 22:58, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete article has one reference (which I added), and espouses theories-- it is still original research. D-Rock 23:39, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

I would say that the article is not original research, NIMTO might be a new word to many people but it sums up something which many people have experienced in their lives. I have added an anylisis which considers the possible origins of NIMTOism, the anylisis is based on S. Freud so prior art exists. Hence it is not original thought being presented here.Cadmium 12:16, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
