[edit] Cycle-time overhead

Protologism. Though defined as a standard by the "International Intangible Management Standards Institute" (which itself doesn't seem very notable [1]), the term doesn't appear to have caught on. Google search returns no hits for this term that correspond with this definition [2]. Article created by User:Kenstandfield whose primary edits lately have been to promote himself, his books, and his institute. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 01:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Oh dear, there seems to be a whole system of nonsense articles around this: Nanotime, International intangible standards... want to list them AbsolutDan? Sdedeo (tips) 01:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Not sure - let's discuss on this AfD's talk page. --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 01:43, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are related Protologisms:

• Nanotime
• Collaboration transactions
• Knowledge transactions

Please discuss all 4. Thanks --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 02:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

• So, OK, Delete -- these are complete (interlinked) nonsense articles delineating some kind of "system" for classifying... not sure... um... original research (and presumably vanity) to the point of incomprehension. Sdedeo (tips) 02:06, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

• I also think we should Delete all of these, unless clear, verified evidence of major media/academic interest/support can be shown. The self-promotion angle is abundantly clear, and the outside notability is not. See also Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Intangible_accounting, which I nominated before seeing this page.

• Delete all. The entire constellation of Ken Steadman (contributions) seem to be inter-related and promotional, with these difficult to distinguish from invented gibberish-jargon. - David Oberst 06:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all, fails WP:NEO and WP:NOR. --Coredesat 07:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all per Coredesat. It all seems to come out of one book and one alleged institute, which suggests also vanity and advertising. Tychocat 08:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all. It's just creating topics for self-promotion based on the development of his own "consultant-speak" and a self-created "institute". Nelson50 09:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all. All of this is indeed too intangible. And OR besides. The author has not done enough to separate this from apparent nonsense reading. See [3] for an article on same.
