Googleitis
Original research/essay, possibly copyvio - but I'm not going to Google to find out. DS 17:52, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete.^ NN neologism. Words "googleitis", "googlitis", "searchitis" do circulate in small amounts in the internet, but it is still a rather nonnotable joke.mikka (t) 18:57, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Reduced the entry to be purely original work - if we change the entry to googlitis would that mitigate the concern? (Or does this need to have some more generic term like searchitis?) --David Traynor 21:24, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Dear David, unfortunately wikipedia is not place for original work, see the policy about original research. Only well-established and existing things and notions described in reputable sources are allowed. The reason is simple: wikipedia does not have means for peer review to distingusih crap fromm solid info and relies only on data published in proven sources. Therefore I killed your searchitis. BTW it is inadmissible to create clones of articles. mikka (t) 21:41, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, as gahoogle below. Jkelly 22:47, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Another nn neologism. Amren (talk) 00:54, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Not the place. Once author gets used to Wikipedia may be a valuable member downstream, however. Coll7 00:54, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Not the place, valuable member - how insulting! How will wikipedia ever grow if all you do is regurgitate oldthink. What a waste of your intellect.
