 * This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now.  Delete, dictdef, and I don't think it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion - Google print turns up only two independent instances conveying meaning.  Might be worth a transwiki anyway to let them figure it out, though. &mdash;Cryptic (talk) 12:13, 15 October 2005 (UTC)
 * This appears to be nothing to do with the "electrism" espoused by Viktor Schauberger, which is the only "electrism" that research turns up that isn't just one-person crank physics or that isn't simply synonymous with electricity (as is the case in the mainstream physics writings that I've found). A merger seems inappropriate, since the article content appears to be wrong.  The few mainstream physics references that I can find give the term in contexts that imply that it was a 19th century term (with "magneticity" being an alternative name for "magnetism" and "electrism" being an alternative name for "electricity") contemporary with Michael Faraday, not a recent coinage, prior to the advent of the concept of electromagnetism.
