neologism, non-encyclopedic, with <300 google results, most which do not correspond to this meaning. —siroχo 18:00, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)
- Same guy posted Garvana which I've nominated as a speedy. Delete both. - Lucky 6.9 18:13, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete as neologism and dictionary definition. Either reason is sufficient. Thue | talk 18:21, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- What's wrong with neoligisms? Both words are used regularly on BBC Science, where their meanings are clearly understood. Keep. Kiteman 18:35, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: nouns derived from names.... Neologism & dictdef. Geogre 19:22, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Kiteman: the problem is that this is an encyclopedia. We have the Wiktionary for dictionary definitions. Furthermore, though, a word that is very new is jargon or slang. It needs to be in widespread use before a dictionary (or Wiktionary) would include it. The usage of this term is confined to an electronic forum, it seems, so that would be too narrow a usage base.

- Delete; I don't even think the neologism is significant enough to move to the Wiktionary or to internet slang. It's interesting, though. --Ardonik 02:59, Jul 20, 2004 (UTC)
