Skype-ing

Contested PROD - WP:MADEUP - Probably not useful as a redirect -- WikHead (talk) 19:43, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Skype - This is certainly not a hoax, I have heard the word and Google News and Google News archives provided several results to confirm the word is widely used for using Skype. SwisterTwister   talk  20:07, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - I was going to redirect this to Skype myself, but figured the hyphen in its name would render the redirect implausible. Without a hyphen, a redirect would indeed be the way to go. -- WikHead (talk) 20:14, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It appears both "Skype-ing" and "Skyping" are used, as shown by Google News. SwisterTwister   talk  21:14, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you think it's something that someone would actually type into the search box? -- WikHead (talk) 21:35, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, Skype is a separate word with "ing" as the ending. SwisterTwister   talk  22:44, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
