Fraudsourcing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A non-notable neologism made up by a non-notable author in an unreliable publication (WordPress). Other than the two links the article no reliable coverage of any kind was found. I previously prodded it, but author removed it without any reason given. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:57, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Might even want to request a speedy. If we all got Wikipedia pages for making up words, I'd have six. Sidatio (talk) 01:29, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Lacks adequate sources and is a non-notable neologism. - MrX 02:24, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Dictionary definition of an obscure neologism. The citation in the article is a self-published source and is thus unreliable. A search for news articles doesn't bring up anything. Subject fails to meet the general notability guideline.-- xanchester  (t)  02:56, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Absolutely zero evidence of use aside from the one WordPress blog despite searches with both Google News and Books. SwisterTwister   talk  05:18, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment The article grossly misreads the coiner's intent! —Tamfang (talk) 19:04, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per Xanchester, and as a fork of crowdsourcing and astroturfing. Bearian (talk) 19:22, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
