AfD or PROD are the correct course of action for neologisms, they are explicitly not a Criteria for speedy deletion. Thryduulf 19:55, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as a self-admited neologism. Thryduulf 19:55, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
• No. There is no speedy deletion criterion for made-up stuff. Reliably determining that stuff is a fabrication requires more than two pairs of eyes. However, this article is pretty cut and dried. One just needs to get as far as "is a word I coined" to see that this is a protologism, and a violation of our Wikipedia:No original research policy. A quick check with Google just to be sure that this isn't simply an incredibly bad article about real topic (which would be be "spectraphilia", per our Wikipedia:Naming conventions (adjectives)) comes up with the pretty conclusive zero results on all searches, including Google Groups.
