Neologism. WP:NFT Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Prod removed silently by anon. Mr Stephen 23:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete Wikipedia isn't the place to promote a new word. ---J.S (t|c)
• Keep This is an up and coming word that people should know about and is being considered by dictionaries for their knew editions. DO NOT DELETE THIS ARTICLE. It is not a word promotion or just made up and posted willy nilly, but a thoughtout article that will help educate the world about a new term.68.81.89.156 00:25, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

The job of wikipedia is to educate people about things that already exist, not things you hope to exist. The article can be re-witen once the word is in common usage.---J.S (t|c) 00:58, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom as a non-notable neologism. Tony Fox (arf!) 02:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NEO. The word does not appear to even respect any basic rule of grammar, which would suggest to me unlikely to be accepted as a legitimate word in the English language. Until it is accepted, it is no better than a word someone made up at school one day. Ohconfucius 05:54, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Wikipedia stresses that it is not a dictionary for new words. Wryspy 07:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as a protologism.--Isotope23 17:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
