 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - a concept coined and used by one or two researchers, and an article largely consisting of original research. There is quite a bit of SPA activity in the article, too - not a reason to delete it, of course, but worth keeping an eye on. --bonadea contributions talk 17:37, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Yes, neologism, sourced to articles form 2016, with no showing of general uptake. May be suitable for an article at some future time. LaMona (talk) 00:01, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - neologism cannot be the sole criteria for deletion unless if it has any copyright issues, since there are as many terms that could easily be categorized under 'neologism'. Besides, not being an "archaic" word doesn't render a new concept void. Therefore, it requires more time to invalidate a conceptual term derived from other established idea(s) even though if it is not an archaic word. Agree with LaMona, that it may be suitable in future time.
 * Indeed, there are many new terms being coined in academic research, which is why Wikipedia does not include articles about concepts that are not well-established. Please read this information, and note that "may be suitable in [the] future" is in fact an argument in favour of deleting; if and when it becomes generally used there could be an article about it, but not before. --bonadea contributions talk 06:55, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
