Speediest delete possible. Not only is it a definition, which doesn't belong on Wikipedia, but it's nonexistent according to Google. Also, the sources given are only sources for roots, not for the actual word. A non-author user Hwthwr (likely a sock-puppet) opined that "Although it is obsolete, this page will come in handy for someone who stumbles across this word and can not find a definiton. It is not a protologism, it has been seen before." If Google results are any indication, no one will need worry about stumbling across this word, and it HASN'T been seen before.

• Delete, non-notable neologism, totally devoid of sources. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 06:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
• DELETE - if the word is "not present anywhere on the internet, nor is it heard commonly in any English-speaking areas throughout the globe", then WP isn't the place to start your little meme. Dig? Natasha Amazing (talk) 08:56, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
• Snowball Delete Clear case of WP:DICT, no WP:RS. Just because you can build a word with greek/latin roots doesn't make it a word. Even if you can, it doesn't make it worthy of an article. -Verdatum (talk) 17:51, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Delete. A hoax if ever I saw one. single purpose account (s). the creator, in fact all major contributors are probably the same person. Keeper | 76 23:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete - It has been here too long already. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:25, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Even if this were a real word which could be verified and sourced, the article would still just be a dictionary entry, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:43, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
