The result of the debate was keep (no concensus). I still merged the content to Skye Sweetnam to flesh out the content on this subject already there. - Mgm|(talk) 11:44, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Volio
Another neologism that doesn't seem to have spread--only 17 displayed hits for "my Volio", which doesn't seem to have "spread across the internet" very far, and Zero hits for "my Volio" polio, the resulting usage alleged by this article. Niteowlneils 02:09, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, an attempt to popularize the term/artist. --Sn0wflake 03:16, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, neologism, vanity. --bainer (talk) 04:18, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Merge useful content into the Skye Sweetnam article. Then delete, as it lacks enough notability for its own article. --Scimitar 13:25, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Merge. Skye Sweetnam also could use a reformat by someone familiar with music entry guidelines. jglc | t | c 13:59, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Delete: This is one of those misheard lyrics and therefore just a joke. "Excuse me while I kiss this guy," etc. Not a meme, not a popular neologism, just a joke. Geogre 18:49, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Merge with Skye Sweetnam. JamesBurns 02:01, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I have definitely heard the term volio being used in certain message boards I've visited. It is spreading, so if you delete this article it will just have to be written again at some point as the popularity of the word grows. Why not just wait a while and see how it plays out? - Anon(preceding vote not counted)
- Because that simply isn't the way the Wikipedia works. This encyclopedia deals with facts, not with unlikely possibilities. --Sn0wflake 17:18, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- comment: In browsing through the Wikipedia I've come across plenty of recently coined words/terms that have their own articles. For instance the term internets, which was coined by Bush, has its own article. What is the difference exactly? If your going to keep something like 'internets' around than you should keep the article on volio. - Anon
- response: Ms. Sweetnam does not have quite the same ammount of public exposure as Mr. Bush. --Scimitar 14:03, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- So, Wikipedia allows neologisms from some celebrities but not from others depending on the level of fame achieved by the celeb? Ms. Sweetnam is in fact very well known. She's had a top 40 hit in the states, her album has sold very well considering it's a debut, and her videos have gotten good airplay on Muchmusic and YTV Hitlist. Also, she's a much better speaker than Bush and is obviously much hotter. - I don't have a name
- Yes. Isn't fame, after all, the metric of notability? If I were to curse out the pope tomorrow morning, no one would care. If Jessica Simpson were to do so, people would be incensed. Why? Because she's more well-known than me. jglc | t | c 13:39, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
