Place-keeping

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Apparent WP:NEOLOGISM, "defined" by someone in paper earlier cited but since deleted; first ten Google hits for "place-keeping" "public spaces" are all associated with an author of the cited paper or the MP4 organization, for whom one of paper's author works as a Research Associate. Gets fewer than 400 unique ghits (to be clear, in link with "public spaces", chosen as a likely relevant term to differentiate from other common uses of "place keeping"), many of which are not this usage.

 * Delete We have wiktionary for this. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 12:42, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: No other use of the term in the context mentioned besides sources associated with the page's author listed in an earlier edit of the article. Total-MAdMaN (talk) 14:25, 28 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete as neologism. Somewhat mystifying to find the refs have to be located in history; but they don't change the fact it's a neologism, and poorly-chosen at that. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:43, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete per above reasoning. No reliable sources are found to establish notability. This term belongs on Wiktionary, really. Tinton5 (talk) 22:36, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
