- Keep: I'm definitely biased to keeping it, since I wrote the article and since I'm the "inventor" of this term. If the submission isn't neutral enough, I would happy to work with you all to make it neutral. Nevertheless, I do think that the term does accurately describe the great new Web 2.0-based projects out there today (not just my own, but other projects like Kiva.org). The mission of these projects is clearly social stewardship focused--yet we can't quite lump them with the broad term of "community service" because they are truly driven by technology. Anyway, I don't make the rules here, so my feelings won't be hurt if you all decide to axe this. Sooner or later though, this term (or some permutation) will become accepted by the mainstream. Thanks, everyone! Ebahnx 02:36, 25 December 2006 (UTC)ebahnx

- While we understand your bias, we must suggest you adhere to Wikipedia policy. Please see this one for notability, and this one for the Wikipedia take on neologisms. According to this article we're writing in, the issue isn't one of neutrality, it's a case of the fact that it non-notable, and as is demonstrated by the sheer lack of google hits (though not a reliable source, nevertheless), very much a neologism. As such, I cast Delete. --Dennisthe2 03:01, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

- Strong Delete The articles author admitted that he made up the term, meaning it is purely OR and has a COI. However, I would like to thank the author for being polite and recognizing that we do have policies regarding this sort of thing. --The Way 20:35, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
