[edit] Sympatheon

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

Article about a non-notable neologism. No coverage of this word in reliable sources. Fails WP:RS, WP:V and WP:NEO. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 07:59, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - My professor, Prof. Tung, at Kean University just taught a whole class on the subject. It's in my textbook, New Developments in Film Theory by Patrick Fuery, chapter 12. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyclosmithy (talk • contribs)
  • Comment - my professor taught a whole course about him having sex with your mom too. Should I write an article about that? --Linear Model 08:48, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
    • • Comment. Linear Model is new created vandal account. Hevesli 20:26, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Whoa, keep things civil here. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 08:50, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
      • lol, some uni courses do teach how to have sex (guess it could be with your mum too, is she willing?!). Hah. Anyway... do agree with your general feeling about though, Linear Model could have had a touch more civil intent. Oh well, such a nice username too. Mathmo ^Talk
• Delete - non-notable. --Linear Model 08:48, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. The only google results are some guy who uses it as his Everquest 2 in-game name --froth^T 08:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete unless sources establishing notability can be found. The fact that the concept exists doesn't automatically confer notability, since cultural theorists have a tendency to name everything they see. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 09:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete -- unsourced  Tuvok^^{Talk|Desk|Contribs}  09:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - nn neologism, 7 ghits. MER-C 10:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. For the reasons above, plus a super duper bonus reason of only 7 ghits. (with a triple bonus of none of them being relevant to this article) Mathmo ^Talk 12:35, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:NOT#DICT, good for a literary term glossary entry but not suitable for an encyclopedia. Wooyi 19:28, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Go away sympatheon, and take aspargeon with you! Non-notable thing someone made up. Inkpaduta 23:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Please refrain from incivility. Wooyi 00:38, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Please refrain from bogus incivility warnings. Expressing dislike of bogus neologisms and wanting them removed from Wikipedia does not constitute incivility. Per the essay on incivility, "The word "incivility" is derived from the Latin incivilis, meaning "not of a citizen". I see it as a duty of a citizen of Wikipedia to express disdain for articles about non-notable neologisms. Worry more about personal attacks than disdain for neologisms.

      • I was just expressing concerns according to the policy WP:CIV, nothing to take personally and no need to take out original definition of the word. And I dont understand whats up with "aspargeon", some neologism you invented to criticize neologism? plus, my view on this article is delete too. Wooyi 05:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
        • "Aspargeon" is mentioned (albeit terribly defined) in the article as a kind of opposite to "sympatheon". BigHaz - Schreit mich an 05:18, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
