Greenality

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Page is an attempt to promote a neologism per this link. Fails the general notability guideline. ZabMilenko How am I driving? 12:25, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

 * What about giving the editors a chance to properly source what you allege is a neologism? This appears to have a bit of academic structure to it.   Critical Chris   13:36, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Nineteen days coupled with evidence of promotion seems to provide an exception to WP:BEFORE. I made a good-faith effort to find evidence of notability myself, so if you see anything I missed please post it and I will very much consider withdrawing.

 * Delete. Google Books/Scholar/News show no relevant results. The mentioned blog clearly identifies the word as a neologism: "You probably never heard that word before. But we want to change that." No dictionary definitions were found for "greenality". — Rankiri (talk) 15:49, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: only definitions I found define it as a neologism. Awickert (talk) 19:23, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Promoting a neologism for commercial gain. Both this page and the Urban Dictionary were created by earthpm. This editor is attempting to promote a book. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep.I dsagree with the premise that the word greenality is in anyway promoting anything for personal gain. It is true that the coiners of this word are EarthPM.  The foundation of EarthPm is that it is at the intersection of green and project management.  Whether or not EarthPM is a commercial enterprise is irrelevant to the word greenality.  As far as the connection to any blog, you probably know that in this case, blogs are not money making enterprises.  Therefore I disagree with the assumption that the inclusion of the word greenality seeks to promote anything but a gauge in which projects, both the process and the product, can be assessed.  This is a fledgling concept and is being fleshed out as we speak.  As with any word, greenality will evolve over time.  Right now the basic concept is what is being expressed.  There is no doubt in our minds that greenality will become a candidate for Webster's or American in the future.  Right now, we want it to be part of Wikipedia's leading edge of environmental definitions.--EarthPMDave 19:55 29 July 2009  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Earthpm (talk • contribs) 20:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:Avoid neologisms and WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Even if it's not promotional, a new term doesn't belong in Wikipedia unless it's covered by reliable sources that address it in detail. — Rankiri (talk) 21:11, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. Our role here is not to be the "leading edge of environmental definitions", our role is to portray a balanced view of what secondary sources are talking about. Secondary sources are currently silent on this neologism. Binksternet (talk) 22:25, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
