[edit] Micropatrology

I believe this is a neologism based on the lack of Google hits it gets. The society which is mentioned in the article gets even fewer Google hits, many of which are from Wikipedia mirrors. While this is probably because the society became dormant in the 1980s, I don't think this is that notable. Talrias (t | e | c) 01:52, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as neologism with no evidence of widespread currency (~700 Google hits [1]). The major source for this term (other than add-it-yourself sites and Wiki mirrors) appears to be the "Worldwide Micropatrological Institute", which apparently exists mainly as a series of user pages on free hosting providers. Unless there are citations from reliable sources (and by that I do not mean redlinked academics) I'd say this was one man's crusade, and almost a protologism in that there is plenty of evidence of attempts to coin the term but precious little to show it actually being taken up.

• Delete per nom and JzG's comments. What would really make me change my vote would be to see a university or college with a department or even a course with this topic. Sadly, I can find none. Ifnord 22:36, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
