wp:neo, tried to google term got basically nothing. word doesn't seem to exist anywhere except in the books that are cited as references. 9 ghits, none are about lighting, except the wikipedia article, which is hit #1. Pharmboy (talk) 02:04, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete can't confirm it even exists; need WP:RS for WP:V. JJL (talk) 02:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep This is a pop culture term that is used by many in the lighting design business. It should remain in Wikipedia —Preceding unsigned comment added by IAmFromAbileneTX (talk • contribs) 03:22, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete unless real sources are forthcoming. The "references" listed don't seem to have anything to do with this "pop culture term". Provide some proof that it's a well known term, with reliable sources. Corvus cornix_talk 05:22, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete No decent sources, and the article is frankly pretty unclear to the casual reader unfamiliar with lighting equipment. Beeblbrox (talk) 05:52, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as currently unverifiable; not necessarily with prejudice. Not only is the article rather confusing in its present form, it contains a perplexing link that redirects to fraternities and sororities. If "greek organization" has some different meaning in the light fixtures business, I haven't heard the usage, and Google knows nothing either. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:10, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep I own a residential and commmercial lighting fixture store in Nevada and we have people ask us about light diffusers and greekpanels now and then. I don't carry them, but I know other places that do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CAEffects&Design (talk --CAEffects&Design (talk) 16:56, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Then can you provide citations from reliable sources that use the term? That is the issue. Whether or not it is used is not, for if we can't verify the term, it must be deleted. I can't find any sources that meet (or dont meet) wp:RS. Otherwise, it has to be deleted via the WP:NEO policy or others. Pharmboy (talk) 17:56, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

• 20-Mule-Team Delete: Article created by an SBA with no other edits. "Keep" votes are both by SBAs with no other edits. "Greekpanel" + "lighting" = only Google hit, this article. One of the two references, a 1983 Science article, does not in fact have the term. Survey says: WP:HOAX.  RGTraynor  21:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
