Neologism unsupported by independent references: neither notable nor verifiable. It was put up for proposed deletion in mid-2007. It's now 2009, and the article is still unsourced. —C.Fred (talk) 23:02, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - wholly original research. A web search reveals that the term is certainly in usage, but at present discussion of the subject appears to be limited to blogs, forums and other self-published sources. Fails WP:V, WP:N and WP:NEOLOGISM. Marasmusine (talk) 14:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Currently no more than a neologism, and does appear limited to forums as Marasmusine suggested (such as this one). No reliable secondary sources that I could find.   A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 20:58, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Neutral - I find it rather odd that no sources can be found. I can remember this term being used in RO as early as iRO closed beta, in late 2002). -- Jelly Soup (talk) 21:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
