Speedy deletion nomination of Leaveism


A tag has been placed on Leaveism requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. ''' Flat Out   let's discuss it   11:37, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Invented
Everything non-natural must have been invented by someone, but this criterion is for things that aren't hoaxes (intended to deceive) but are not encyclopaedic subjects. It was originally devised mainly for re-inventions of beer pong and new words invented in the school yard, but unless it can be shown that a term like leavism is actually in reasonably widespread use - and this can be proved with reliable independent sources - then it isn't for Wikipedia. Sources need to discuss the word and attribute it to the creator, not just use it (with or without attribution). Referencing on Wikipedia is not the same as in academic circles, and I advise you to read WP:RS. Peridon (talk) 13:00, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
