unsourced neologism not in common use or frequency Chris 03:52, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete per WP:MADEUP. Neologism. --Alksub 03:59, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Never heard it used. Speciate 04:01, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

*Delete. I don't know how 'neo' a word has to be to be branded a neologism, but in any case it fails WP:V. Dbromage [Talk] 04:06, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. Changing my vote as it does appear to be verifiable from reliable sources.[1][2] Also see WP:IDONTKNOWIT regarding limited geographic usage of the term. Dbromage [Talk] 07:00, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

*Delete as hoax, I have never heard of this or been refered to as such, without any reference this doesn't meet WP:V. - Caribbean~H.Q. 04:49, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Wow. Not only is it made up in school, it's ostensibly being used in an official capacity! Nonetheless, despite this, it reeks of being a neologism. Strong delete accordingly. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 04:56, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Change vote to keep and clean up. I don't like the term and think it's ugly, but that's the only other reason I can come up with to maintain a !vote of delete, and since it's sourced, it can stay. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 21:23, 28 August 2007 (UTC)`
  • Delete WP:NEO - I mean perhaps if they could find a source that used it or even sources about it that would be acceptable - but until then it's relatively obvious how to handle the situation.--danielfolsom 05:45, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete WP:NEO also possible hoax. Oysterguitarist 06:20, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Theres actually many references on the web; [3] --Vonones 06:30, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Added some references. --Vonones 06:36, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Boston Globe has articles on this that I have referenced. --Vonones 06:40, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep based on the newly added sources + additional ones on google news Corpx 07:18, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep because of sources added. Oysterguitarist 07:40, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep - with new references it meets WP:V, although its still something a little limited to a certain geographical area. - Caribbean~H.Q. 16:27, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep because of new sources. --Alksub 22:12, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Per above. Now sourced. ♠TomasBat 00:26, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Source appears to be an example of WP:NOT for things made up in school. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:56, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
