 * Keep - There's a large archive at Snopes, titled by this term, and for the same reason. The term has been used for years now, and has found it's way into the Urban Dictionary, even though that doesn't exactly qualify it. Plenty of fauxtagraphy gets spread around the internet (especially on Facebook and Twitter, where the dumbest and most gullible people are often found), and it would seem to me that it deserves the name it's been given. Also, it does seem to provide notable information - it's just not fully developed yet, considering it was only created today. KBnaotwtleldee 06:19, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - Reading the current page, it seems that Photoshopped images constitutes Fauxtography where in other circles Fauxtography is used to point out fake photographers, usually as a result of them getting a Nikon or Canon camera kit from Costco for Christmas and after some crappy photos think they are they next Ansel Adams or Steve McCurry. Most notable via their use of Photoshop and the inclusion of their copyright/logo plastered on the image itself, the larger the logo the shittier the photo.  See http://youarenotaphotographer.com.
