[edit] PBBG

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

Classic WP:NEO. None of the sources provided are secondary sources independent of the community striving to coin the term. The article is open about this site proposing the term and its operator apparently created this article. This page, which promises "free advertising" to sites that use the PBBG term in their <title> tags and hints that registering "PBBG-related domain names" is a good idea, suggests that the Google test should be used with caution. -SpuriousQ (talk) 01:11, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as a neologism. Ask me again once it makes it into the Oxford English Dictionary. Actually, you don't have to wait that long. Ask me when pink elephants fly. :) YechielMan 02:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, I'd settle for an article in a reliable source on the concept. That could happen soon, or it could not. At the moment, this is promotional. --Dhartung | Talk 06:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unusual to see a neologism that's almost spamworthy. --Dweller 13:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as neologism that almost smacks of WP:NFT and certainly dings WP:COI. "The term PBBG was proposed in early January 2007 on http://www.pbbg.com and is being gradually adopted by the gaming community" Translation: we made this up and we really hope others use it so we can make some money. NB: this is the sole Wiki contribution of the article's creator.  RGTraynor  13:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - this certainly seems to violate WP:NEO, WP:COI as per RGTraynor, and possibly WP:NOR. Nihiltres 14:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Badly-disguised spam. Realkyhick 18:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete spam, and per everyone else. Acalamari 20:43, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
