Anthropocloud

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A merge to cloud is possible, but I'm seeing very little coverage for what could be a neologism. Only sources I could really find are a thesis, and a few other sites that refer to this thesis. There are actually several, several sources about man-made clouds, but not under this name, so whether or not this can be kept, at least under this title, should now be discussed.

 * Failed to make this clearer earlier: the subject of this AfD is the term "Anthropocloud", not the concept of the man-made cloud. As it seems that the word Anthropocloud is a neologism that has not been covered in/used by reliable sources, should this article be kept, it should probably be moved to a different title. Note that Artificial cloud already exists, so I'm fine with a merge to that article. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:09, 29 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep I would say that this is a notable topic in its own right and in several of the environmental sciences "Anthropo" is a widely used suffix to describe human activity, for example the Anthropocene which is a theoretical age used to describe the past 200 years. I am a recent graduate in environmental science. Seasider91 (talk) 12:50, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment If that is the case, I suggest merging this article into the artificial cloud article as the article under AFD seems to be better written. Seasider91 (talk) 13:29, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Merge to Artificial cloud. Yes the topic is notable, but this name is a neologism and is really not used by the practitioners, and we do have the start of an article at the more appropriate term. --Bejnar (talk) 03:17, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - The only reference available online is a glossary that does not discuss the term. As such, the article seems to be an essay and not appropriate for WP.--Rpclod (talk) 02:58, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
