The topic appears to be a neologism, and the article should be deleted per WP:NEO. The term doesn't appear in Websters, Oxford, or American Heritage, or even in the Dictionary for Library and Information Science. Neither LISA: Library and Information Science Abstracts, nor WorldCat turned up anything on the term. The Transhumanist 21:41, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge or redirect to History of wikis. As a phrase, it never caught on.  Mandsford (talk) 14:21, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect, agree with Mandsford. It is a phrase with a non-obvious meaning, that if encountered might give rise to a search.  But it apparently is not often encountered. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:02, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
