This article is entirely unreferenced, and concerns an apparently non-notable neologism. John254 15:35, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Wow - there are so many things wrong with this article. Dicdef of a neologism that was, according to the article, born into the English language on June 31, 2007 by the 'esteem linguist' Ryan Russell who i can't find on google, and we don't have an article on.

  • Do NOT delete This word has validity in everyday language, despite its lack of appearance in a dictionary. It will be useful for people who hear the word and need to search for its definition. It should remain on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.216.191 (talk) 03:30, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I too searched for “Ryan Russell” on Google and had trouble finding any information about this ‘Esteemed Linguist.” I found it difficult because of the fact that both his given name and his surname are very common. As far as grounds for deletion? I find it hard to judge a linguist. Such a person is challenged to be creative in his/her speech. All words have an origin. Wikipedia might just be this words birthplace. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.190.140.99 (talk) 03:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
