Semantic social network

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is not a commonly used term, this article was created by its originator, and references are mostly papers written by promoters of the concept, and a couple web links of semantic web-promoting websites with questionable reliability for establishing notability. Thus, it fails to meet the general notability guideline. --Michael WhiteT&middot;C 04:34, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep?. Lots of cites in GS and GB. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:02, 17 April 2016 (UTC).
 * That's true, and I probably should have checked that more. Some of the matches are not quite germane.  GS search for "semantic social network" -author:neumann -"semantic social network modeling" -"semantic social network analysis" -"social semantic network" returns 595 results but a lot of them are in citations or passing uses of the phrase.  "Semantic social network" is a term that has probably been used a fair amount by semantic web researchers but no notable semantic social networks exist and the term does not seem to have been significantly used in any reliable sources independent of semantic web researchers.--Michael WhiteT&middot;C 05:23, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
