You asked
You asked, "Is there a yardstick for what constitutes 'common usage or thought?'" The issue is contentious and much discused on articles for deletion. Many different tests are used for different categories of information. You might want to look at, Notability, Importance and Google test. We decide what belongs here on an ad hoc basis, but general principles are always applied. Articles for deletion/Precedents should give you an idea of what articles will be deleted. Avoid neologisms should give you an idea of our policy towards newly constructed words (although that page needs some work). Cheers! Broken S 23:11, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
