Musecast
Non-notable blog/podcast related neologism. Timecop 00:13, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The afd template was added to the article and this page was created, but it was not added today's listing. Completing nomination, no vote. -- grm_wnr Esc  00:53, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete - As far as I can turn up from web searches, the Grace Museum in Abilene, Texas is the only museum that does this and calls it a musecast. There are many, many more references on the web to "musecast" as a podcast done by a guy called Muse, or a website called Muse, or... well, you get the idea.  Definitely not widely used to refer to museum podcasting. - AdelaMae 05:47, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, nn neologism. Dottore So 08:01, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Essentially an article on a one-off in-house service, where the name refers more commonly to the MUSE website and a podcast by a guy named Muse. Geogre 11:13, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. From Google it seems to be a reasonably widespread neologism, albeit still a neologism (by the way, that NYTimes article linked in the "External links" section is an interesting read). For those not paying attention, I'll note that User:Timecop is a GNAA Internet troll engaging in a childish attack on weblog-related information on Wikipedia ... this doesn't mean the article shouldn't be deleted, mind you, but it's definitely something to bear in mind. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 11:46, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. How is this encyclopedic? -Incognito 13:13, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, the term got a widely read NY Times article. Ignore the GNAA people. Rhobite 03:55, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment - There is a NY Times article on the subject, but I can't seem to find the term musecast on any of the pages linked to except for the page for Grace Museum, which I mentioned above. How do these links provide evidence for the usage of this term? - AdelaMae 04:07, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe the page should be renamed then. No AfD is required to move a page. We don't delete articles simply because they're misnamed. There are also some podcasts which give unofficial walking tours of lower manhattan.. if we have an article about those, maybe it should be merged with this one. Rhobite 04:14, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The concept of podcasting museum tours is already covered in Podcast. - AdelaMae 19:57, 19 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete nn neologism.  Grue   13:27, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
