Cosmosis (figure of speech)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Maybe I'm having a bad googling day, but I can't even find a single use of such a word. It doesn't even appear to be a neologism. Original contributor (User:Tryforceful) is on a years long wikihiatus and unlikely to elaborate what the term means. Bxj (talk) 20:05, 28 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - This is a really peculiar one, it looks like it was tagged onto a band article and then split out as its own article. Are we dealing with a neologism? A hoax? Original research? A legitimate article on an arcane topic, albeit improperly footnoted??? Who knows... Fails verifiability, feels dictionary-definition-y, smacks of original research — take your pick.

 * Delete - I agree, seems like a hoax, OR, or something. No references to it outside of Wikipedia that I'm seeing, other than on some band page... If this is kept for some reason, it should at the very least get a tag...  GorillaWarfare  talk 22:47, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Appears to fail WP:V. Word does not appear in Lanham's Handlist of Rhetorical Terms, in the Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics, or in the Oxford English Dictionary. Deor (talk) 00:37, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
