[edit] Micropreneur

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

Inappropriately listed as a G11 speedy, when not a company. Quite possibly a neologism; sent to AfD for further input. Xoloz 15:26, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Move to Wiktionary or delete - there are a fair few Ghits on it so it may be enough of a genuine word that they'd want it, but it's certainly nothing more than a dicdef. Frankly, I'm amazed it's survived three years. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 15:57, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: Seems to be used by this company, and there is a nice article here. I think there could be a good article on this word, but I am not sure whether it would be suited to Wikipedia, or whether it should just have an entry on Wiktionary. J Milburn 17:08, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
• Comment It does not appear that the creator and substantial editors of this article have been notified about the AfD. [WP:AfD] says that providing such notice is seen as civil. This guidance is often ignored. Providing this notice should be the responsibility of those initiating the deletion process. I will do this myself tomorrow, time permitting, if no one else steps up to do so. Also, I'm not sure of the exact impact here but it seem worth noting that Muhammad Yunus won the most recent Noble Peace Prize for his work on micro-credit. Edivorce 17:40, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete and do not transwiki to Wiktionary, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. The intro text to Category:PajamaNation (category nominated for deletion), into which this has been otherwise inexplicably sorted, reveals that it is a "(c)ategory for grouping together articles relating to the pajamanation global series of enterprises, including national and international initiatives, concepts such as micropreneur and microjobs." In other words, this is spam. - Smerdis of Tlön 18:43, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I provided the notices discussed above. Edivorce 17:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and allow speedy as A1, A7, G11, G1, W12, XRF99 or any other criterion that makes it plain that Wikipedia is not the place to promote your company by writing about some neologism you just created. Guy (Help!) 17:25, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
