Felicism

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A neologism with no known use in RS. Fauzan ✆ talk ✉ mail  15:43, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Language must be adaptive by nature or fail to be sufficient to articulate one's thoughts. As vacancies are discovered terms will take their place. Therefore the complaint that 'felicism' is a neologism is fair. However, if it can be agreed that there is a sufficient vacancy in the English language, namely a contrasting term for cynicism, then a term will eventually fill the void. The quickest and easiest way for a word to make the transition from a neologism to an accepted term is with the aid of widely read internet sources e.g. Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noyes.carlos (talk • contribs) 17:59, 6 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I am afraid, Wikipedia is not a platform for a term to make a transition from a neologism to a widely circulated word. Read WP:NOTNEO. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. -- Fauzan ✆ talk ✉ mail  06:16, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
