Cloudage

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unsupported neologism with no agreement on meaning or general usage.  T RANSPORTER M AN  ( TALK ) 21:17, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, unsourced neologism, inconsistent use online. Hairhorn (talk) 21:33, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep, a new term to serve as adage or idiomatic warning of how the law of unintended consequences occurs in the emerging Cloud Computing arena, whenever a single point of failure causes a cascade of outages in down stream systems and business operations. I am attempting to cite a news reference of how a recent Amazon outage caused just such a a cascade of failures at other businesses.  Also discussing this term with a scholarly contact to evaluate and possibly add to their nomenclature on Cloud Computing.  If they agree, then there will be a scholarly citation to cite.  Lastly the the conventional definition of Cloudage as mass of clouds or cloudiness is a pictoral allegory of the potential storm caused by a Cloud Computing Infrastructure as a Service failure.

 * Getting your friend in academia to agree with you is not a "scholarly citation". Google shows a widely varied use of this term online, also, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Hairhorn (talk) 19:28, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
