Neologism, no sources, except user submitted dicdef & friendster page. No attempt to establish notability, or even claim it. - Tiswas (t) 15:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC) Its funny how all of you seem eager to shoot down an unpopular coined word just waiting to blossom...I understand being a newbie here and still tweaking around with wikipedia seriously though why the bias? I can name a dozen wikipages here that don't, won't meet to your standards or to your interpretation of Wikipedia's standards...using your logic how would you deal with Ted Turner's word's do you delete any article published by his media magnate? Do you thoroughly comb each and every article here or just plainly because of the fact you just happened to pick my entry? Please reconsider or teach a newbie on how to? If blog entry's are not consdered then how would newspapers catch a glimpse of it and bothered to publish it if it wasn't first seen through a snapshot of an event. I'm sorry but i'm deployed to a ************* and have no access to the source ******************... I will post it once I get the chance please understand and reconsider — Preceding unsigned comment added by Libertyports (talk • contribs)
 * Delete Without the social information, all that remains is a dicdef.--Xnuala (talk)(Review) 16:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No reliable sources; all references given are self-published sources, even Merriam-Webster. (It's interesting that M-W now accepts user-generated content as well; but their notability checks do not seem to be very rigid...) --B. Wolterding 16:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment re the unsigned entry above: What is needed for inclusion in Wikipedia are reliable sources. Blogs, Youtube, and other user-generated content sites are not considered reliable in this context. If the topic is notable enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia, then certainly newspapers, book authors, etc. have written about it. (I doubt that in this case, but if so, please supply the sources.) If not, it should not have an article on Wikipedia. --B. Wolterding 16:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - furthermore, wikipedia is not here to further the spread of neologisms. - Tiswas (t) 16:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - as per above. WP:MADEUP applies in spades, and I'm deeply distressed that Merriam-Webster is apparently publishing user-submitted neologisms without any evidence of their notability. I wasn't aware of that...anyone else think that might be worthy of a RfC? Bullzeye Complaint Dept./Contribs) 16:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The user submissions only appear in the Open Dictionary. Although it's also on m-w.com, it's pretty easily distinguished from the rest of the site. They all say "submitted by ...", for example. --Dhartung | Talk 23:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Bullzeye. Nice name by the way. Bulldog123
 * Delete, neologism, not supported by reliable sources. This Merriam-Webster "Open Dictionary" appears to be a clone of Urban Dictionary. NawlinWiki 20:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge, word better describes an individual or a group of individuals seen in by a third person in the act of synchronizing the lips and body movements to a music heard from a PA or spear system. i.e. The term could be used for the acts made during a Music Video recording or the sudden urge of an individual or group who does the same in a public place such as a Mall, Department Stores, Fast Food, Restaurants, Supermarkets etc...Hence the term to Dansynch!
