[edit] Distributed campaigning

Obscure neologism. 66 Google hits, some irrelevant. I've just finished a year-long research project on this subject, and this is only the second time I've encountered the term. RadicalSubversiv E 16:10, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Doesn't appear to have the scope or impact to be encyclopedic. Give the concept some time to develop and someday the term might deserve an article (if it sticks, of course), but not yet. -- Jonel 17:30, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, in full agreement with Jonel. When someone combines a couple of words and sticks them on a simple idea so he can sell custom software, his self-promotion of the phrase doesn't make it encyclopedic. If the next election cycles show there's more to the idea than "our flunkies spam people from home instead of spam-phoning them from the campaign office", and if the term takes hold on a widespread basis, then it'll be more appropriate to add the article.
