Delete: per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is neither for original research or dictionary definitions. This entry serves to define a newly created word —C.Fred (talk) 04:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• Do Not Delete, [[1]], Used by significant others. Many references to this word on a google search. goodwinzz 21:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki to wiktionary. I thought it was parrot cruft at first, but it actually exists. There is a peer reviewed article where it is used[2], another article on its definition and alt defs[3], an article where it's used as per the definition presented [4], and its even used as early as 1961 in The Lancet, although it probably was a neologism then. -- Samir ∙ T C 09:07, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

• Transwiki to wiktionary. Reference to prayer as being a polylogue [[5]], just another example of its extensive uses. Research the word! don't just be a parrot. goodwinzz 8:12, 10 March 2006

• Keep, me hearties. 'Tis a right smart bit o' wordsmithin', ye scurvy lubbers. 'Tis got more Ghits on it than a old tar has lice, maties. Avast! Ye speak o' yer trans-wiki'en like yer talkin' aboot takin' a ship full o' women. But 'tis not so easy, aye. Ye'll see. Has too many subtleties of definition, that one has. Aye, ye'll be swimmin' in Davy Jones' Locker afore ye tame this one to a wiktionary definition. Mark me words, ye cowardly bilge-rats! Herostratus 22:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki per Samir and goodwinzz. kotepho 05:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• I still think this nomination was appropriate because the article did not assert the word's history or provide sources; it presented the word as a neologism. Given especially the Lancet article cited by Samir, the article at least should be brought over to Wiktionary. I'm not convinced it can warrant a full article, yet, so I think Transwiki is in order. —C.Fred (talk) 00:06, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki per Samir; I see no need to keep the article here, as the concept is too fringe. Melchoir 05:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
