[edit] Viral injection

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

Contested prod. No reliable published sources are cited to show that this is more than a non-notable neologism. The first few pages of hits for the phrase on Google, Google News and Google Scholar all concern injection of a virus or anti-virus, not a marketing strategy. Delete.

  • Delete per nominator. In fact I was nominating this article for deletion at the same time, with the reasoning: "I can find no references to the term 'viral injection' apart from in a medical sense; the text is almost completely incoherent. This appears to be a hoax or, at best, original research" Ros0709 (talk) 15:34, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. I could not find much evidence of use (only found one use in a forum post), doesn't help that any legitimate uses are drowned out by scientific meaning. Couldn't find any legitimate books.google and scholar.google hits. --Oldak Quill 15:47, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete due to lack of sources, although I was able to slightly improve the article's grammar and style. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 22:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete duplicate of viral marketing. If viral injection is a recognized technique by the industry, it should be included as such in said article. Author confuses the sense and meaning of the word "viral" when applied to marketing strategies, so on top of the above, the article is confusing and leads to error.
