The result of the debate was Delete. It looks like Learncasting was already deleted per this AfD, but Podagogy was not. Deathphoenix ʕ 00:53, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Learncasting

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and this is nothing but a dictionary definition (and a made-up, neologistic one at that), plus a barrage of spammy podcasting links. Delete the damned thing, as this is an encyclopaedia, not a dictionary or a linkfarm. Proto||type 14:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Note - I am also nominating the following related page because of the exact same reasons:
    • Podagogy.
  • Delete as nom. Proto||type 14:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Tom Harrison Talk 15:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete both. Neo, likely spam. "Learncasting" is bad enough, "podagogy" is dreadful. Fan1967 16:17, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge somewhere where the subject is "delivering learning" (gag). This is a technical dicdef. Shenme 17:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete both per nom. --Coredesat 00:52, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
  • By this logic, developing ideas should not be documented. Do I understand this correctly? Given the highly dynamic nature of podcasting (which is also a neologism!) developments like podagogy quickly evolve. While distance education and related technologies may not be your cup of tea, they are of great interest to many in the education discipline. How long did a neologism like "podcasting" have to wait before it could be defined and developed in Wikipedia? --Randym 14:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
