[edit] Signspotting

Signspotting (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

I can find no reference to this term unrelated to the book of the same name. Pjbflynn 19:58, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NFT ("signspotting is a relatively new phenomena...") and for lack of "multiple third-party reliable sources" to prove the notability of this hobby as a so-named phenomenon. Pictures of funny signs collected and published in a book or on a website doesn't make "signspotting" a phenomenon in and of itself, it merely means that some people like collecting pictures of funny signs. Like the nominator, I can ONLY find ref's to the book and the website in this Google search. Zunaid©^{Please rate me at Editor Review!} 14:43, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete neologism - doesn't pass the Google test. SteveBaker 09:42, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

• Question If this does get deleted, if i manage to find a few more sources and information in the future would i be allowed to start it again? Simply south 12:31, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Answer: yes you may so long as it is not simply a "reposting of already deleted content". In other words, the article should be better in some way, be that in the form of extra info, extra references, whatever. Zunaid©^{Please rate me at Editor Review!} 12:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Fair enough. Simply south 13:12, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
