Wikipedia is not a dictionary. RadioFan (talk) 20:08, 5 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment I wrote this article to replace an earlier one that was a straight-out DICDEF, focusing on the concept of a "digital gift economy" that has some currency in social studies/media theory. I'm not an expert in those fields, and I had a hard time finding good sources, hence the poor state of the article. I think the current article is a stub, rather than a dicdef, but I won't mind deletion per WP:TNT. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 21:02, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's obviously more than a dictionary definition thanks to Qwertyus. --Sammy1339 (talk) 22:08, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete I found it hard (impossible, actually) to verify this meaning of the term. The article claims that digital gift means, roughly, information given away over the internet, usually as a copy of something whose original is retained by the giver. But I could not find confirmation of that definition anywhere. In a search for "digital gift" at Google News, Google Scholar, or Google Books, what turns up overwhelmingly is "digital gift certificate" or "digital gift purchase" - in other words, using the internet to purchase a gift for someone. Even when I tried to limit the search - for example "digital gift" information - I couldn't find the meaning given by this article.  I can't evaluate the sources in the article because they are not online, but IMO this definition is not the primary meaning of "digital gift" per most sources. --MelanieN (talk) 02:40, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
