[edit] GAMEY

Neologism, no evidence of widespread use of acronym. (Posted by User:Friday on behalf of 82.15.28.195 (talk • contribs) who due to being not logged in, cannot create pages and complete the process)

• Delete per nomination, unless sources indicating widespread use are added. We're not here to make up new acronyms. Some info here could be merged as appropriate, if it's not already covered elsewhere. Friday (talk) 15:28, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Not in wide use yet, and shows no sign of getting bigger. --ZachPruckowski 17:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and perhaps rename to Internet Big Five or something similar. These companies have long been at the top of the internet heap. A list of their acquisitions seems entirely valid to me. -- JJay 16:23, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Is "Internet Big Five" a well-known name for this particular set of companies? Google sure doesn't seem to think so. If an established name for this group of companies doesn't already exist, it's not up to us to invent one. It looks to me like important acquisitions are already covered in articles on the individual companies. Deciding which 5 companies are the "top five" and inventing a new name for them is original research and we shouldn't be doing that. Duplicating content found elsewhere is undesirable forking and also should not be done. Friday (talk) 17:15, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:NOR. No evidence this neologism is widely used, or that the concept of an "Internet Big Five" is pervasive.--Isotope23 18:08, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: GYM (technology) appears to be essentially the same article. 128.231.88.4 15:33, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

• GYM (technology) was created as a fork of sort of GAMEY. That acronym is more popular, although still relatively rare. I'm not sure that that one meets the WP:NOR cut either, but it's a better contender than GAMEY. --ZachPruckowski 05:55, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment:Who invents such acronyms? They are all created by one particular writer and then their use is either adopted or dropped. The acronym has already been picked up in other wikipedia articles. I think we should wait to see if adoption occurs, then the question becomes how long should we wait.

• Keep Shows significant ammount of Google results which are relevant. Also, very useful to remeber the big 5. Jayden
