Cyberservices
This seems like a non-notable-neologasim. The majority of hits for this are companies. Compu te  r  Jo  e  10:00, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Electronic commerce . &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-02-06 11:03Z 
 * To elaborate, I think > 100,000 Google hits makes it notable at the minimum as a synonym for e-commerce, and the fact that all these companies are using the term is a reason to keep/merge, not to delete. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-02-06 20:14Z

 * Delete, no such thing, just because its usually confused as a synonym of Electronic commerce, does not mean it is really a synonym of Electronic commerce. Marketing talk in order to create false differentiation. Pls also see Philippine Cyberservices Corridor --Noypi380 08:37, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Cyber per se is an "English" word that means more than Information Technology or the Internet or E-commerce. Cyberservices therfore enhaces the e-services which can be wider and more modern if not the "in" thing for the real world of Computers as most games use this term too. I am for rentention of this term due mainly that the English language is an alive language that need more useful and more meanigful "terms" to keep it in most contemporary, illustrative abd descriptive about the Internet related services.

 * Delete neologism. Coffee 14:50, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * In the guidelines, Avoid_neologisms does not state that a neologism is automatically deleted, but suggests a "google" test. There are over 100,000 hits in Google, and over 10,000 hits in Groups! Further, if you do a search within results, you will find that this term is over 10 years old, having been in use since 1995. Perhaps the most notable proponent of this term in the USA is the National Center for Supercomputing Applicationsof the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. A quick perusal of their website will make it evident that cyberservices is much more than just electronic commerce. Keep I say, since I was the author of the article.

 * Very weak keep. It's not a neologism; if anything, it's a word that was in wide use in the early (commercial) Internet era and even previously, but has now been largely supplanted by other, more specific terms referring to particular services, ranging from electronic commerce to online banking. The "cyber-" prefix seems to have peaked in the 1990s. I would keep it as a historical concept, but note that is is now somewhat of an archaicism, with a list of links to more up-to-date articles.

 * I concur with MCB on NCSA's use of "cyberservices". NCSA is a research institution; its historic use of "cyberservices" is unrelated to this article's use of cyberservices.  From  I now have a better idea what this term is commonly used for.  It seems like a euphemism used by developing countries to make industries like call centers sound more exciting.  If that is the case then it should be documented as such. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-02-08 22:10Z 
 * I don't concur. The term is business process outsourcing. Cyberservices is not a term used to make industries call centers exciting in the developing world. Frankly, I am already excited with the term BPO. :) --Noypi380 08:43, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
