Notposting
Article consists of a made-up word and definition. Only 346 google hits, most of which seem to be mistypings of "not posting". F a ng Aili 15:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Dicdef at best. But more likely a protologism. -- Krash (Talk) 15:29, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. I agree with Krash. It appears to be a protologism, and a dictionary definition at best.&#160;—  The KMan  talk  15:41, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Leave Markviii 20:47, 9 March 2006 (UTC) It's a commonly used term among a group of people I work with, and it's amusing how you can quantify it as a 'protologism', which barely outranks it with a paltry 549 hits. Seems to me that word is of the same ilk, yet it's OK for Wiki to allow their own fabricated words, but not anyone else.  I guess the old saying is true, "Rules are for everyone...else".
 * Do you mean the Wikipedia slang we sometimes use in debates like this? That is different, because this is the "discussion" section of Wikipedia, as can be seen from the Wikipedia: part in the title. Over at main article space, we do not use slang, neologisms, or made up words. J I P  | Talk 21:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable unstable neologism, i.e. protologism / protoneologism. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 20:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, completely non-notable neologism, and I see very little actual use for it. J I P  | Talk 21:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete this NeoloCruft. JIP is spot on with his comment, recommend Markviii takes it on board.  D e izio  02:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think he is comparing it to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protologism . --Devilinblack 04:36, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
