Does this version establish notability any better than the six previous versions which were deleted? &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:25, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know, most of us can't see those previous six versions... ansh 666 01:34, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I have restored all previous states. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:07, 18 February 2015 (UTC)


 * From what I can see, its previous deletions weren't so much from notability, but because they thought the article author had invented the term, or it was just about a specific blog post. It dates to at least 10 years ago and is popular in the FLOSS community, but beyond that I don't know how notable it is. &mdash;ajf (talk) 01:49, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hm. I'm pretty sure it isn't WP:MADEUP: I did find one (and only one) source, though the European Commission did have a conference about it. ansh 666 01:48, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. Two sources currently - one is a dictionary of neologisms, and therefore does nothing to establish notability. The second is a reasonably reliable source but is actually about something totally different (anonymous) and merely mentions the term in passing. Although a google search suggests that the term is relatively well-used across the web, I can't see anything to suggest it's genuinely notable and not just a pun popular with bloggers and headline writers. Willing to be convinced otherwise if anyone can dig out some better sources though. K orr u ski Talk 10:53, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
