[edit] Inacronym

Inacronym (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Speedy declined; maybe it's not blatant, but this is disguised advertising. It looks at first sight like a rather gimmicky neologism about a "new communications paradigm"; but when you click the link at the bottom you get taken to Inacronym.com, and it turns out that what they really want is to generate you a sort of personal logo and then (click on the "Shop" tab) sell you custom VIPATM T-shirts for $19.99, sweat-shirts for $32, hoodies for $38.99, etc. JohnCD (talk) 10:51, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete, subtle advertising is still advertising. Also seems to be a neologism. Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:03, 27 February 2008 (UTC).
  • Delete – I always hate saying; “….Agree with nominator”. However, this time, yes. Could find no information on the word or the company, other than the web site. As Lankiveil points out, advertising is still called advertising even though cloaked as an article. Shoessss |  Chat  13:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
