Interactivography

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The word only shows up in google on the wordpress link written by the man who coined the word and which seems to be more suggesting it is a company name "About InterActivoGraphy & its products – the games"   &#127866;  Antiqueight  confer 20:38, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete Doesn't appear to be a company, but does appear to be a non-notable neologism, made up by a guy writing a blog last week to describe his own personal take on the art of video game creation. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:42, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NEO. (And isn't this just "interactivity" as applied to video games?) --M ASEM (t) 21:40, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Well, interactivography, cinematography - is normal scientific terms. Interactivography is just a term who indentifies namely the area & art of digital electronic games. FioFeogenod (talk) 22:11, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Unsourced neologism that has no documented use aside from the guy who coined it. Utterly fails WP:GNG.  freshacconci  talk to me  22:33, 22 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Strong delete Doesn't seem to hold any standing with notability, I would also reference made up as well.   Staffwaterboy Critique Me  22:57, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Poorly sourced neologism, an obvious example of WP:MADEUP. hmssolent \You rang? ship's log 02:01, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Has anyone considered nominating this for speedy deletion as advertisement, with no claim of importance being made? Drmies (talk) 17:03, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment It doesn't appear to be advertisement in that this isn't a product or service that is being offered for sale, it is just one guy's concept of a new way to think about video games. One might consider it advertisement in that it might be seen as an attempt to drive traffic to his WordPress site, but I think that would be stretching the point somewhat.

 * That's precisely what I had in mind--and I don't think that's stretching the definition at all. One doesn't need to sell a product or a service: one can promote oneself. That's advertisement. Drmies (talk) 19:33, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * You're free to tag it as such if you feel that is appropriate (or delete it outright; you are and admin, right?). I wouldn't argue with it, as I'm certain that whatever the reason, this article has no place on Wikipedia.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:00, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I am leaning to delete, but could go along with a merger, perhaps to Computer art? Bearian (talk) 18:51, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Wouldn't a merge require a reliable source to indicate that anyone other than the single blog author has ever used this term? WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:09, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
