[edit] Cryptofolklore

Cryptofolklore (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

No more than a Dicdef, possibly a neologism since I have been unable to find it elsewhere. Emeraude 15:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Very few GHits, mostly reflecting back to wiki mirror sites. This is a neologism. A quite sensible one, but wikipedia is not a dictionary. Wiktionary is - perhaps it might find a home there? --Anthony.bradbury 15:43, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to paranormal or Fortean. - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as a dicdef of a neologism. Not sure is transwiki to Wiktionary is a good idea or not. I'm not familiar with their policies on things like this. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 02:28, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, no transwiki. It's a neologism right now. If it gains traction, re-submit later. I agree with Anthony bradbury that it's a quite sensible neologism, but it is still a WP:NEO. Realkyhick 04:54, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Low google hits, nn notable neologism.--Paloma Walker 05:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, no transwiki. Cryptofolklore is the collection, archiving, and analysis of unusual oral history, generally in the areas of paranormal activity such as ghost stories, supernatural legends, and long dead eccentrics such as Emperor Norton of San Francisco. This definition leaves me at a loss as to how to distinguish cryptofolklore from regular folklore. - Smerdis of Tlön 16:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
