[edit] Parallipsoid

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

Article is about a neologism. Wikipedia is not a dictionary Rick Block (talk) 05:12, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. I would say transwiki, but it has already been done. The only other instance of the word I am able to find is a patent on headlights, where I'm guessing the writer meant something similar, but it's not enough, obviously. Celarnor Talk to me 09:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Either delete or drastically rewrite so that graphic design rather than geometry is identified as the topic. This ugly contrived word seems intended to remind people of the word ellipsoid and it can thereby give the impression that something precise is being said about the shape, and that is misleading.

  • Delete. Non-notable neologism whose only source is the blog of a 16 year old who also seems to be the article's author. Gandalf61 (talk) 17:27, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - This clearly doesn't meet notability WP:NEO. I can't find any significant usage of the term, and the only reference present is the person who coined it. Wisdom89 (T / C) 17:33, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
