Dictionary definition of non-notable neologism. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  12:44, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

I would like to contest that this is a non-notable neologism. It is certainly notable. There is no other word in existence for this definition. This word has been voted in by 1200 users globally and has already been used by 1.5 million people in the last week. Thank you for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willjelbert (talk • contribs) 12:52, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability is conferred by discussion in third party reliable sources, not uniqueness. I couldn't find anything discussing this in depth. Moswento talky 12:59, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. In February 2013, a competition was run on the Happy Animals Can Think facebook page to request people contribute their entry to invent a word that best represented imagining the sense of touch.

 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. In particular, Wikipedia is not for neologisms. The existence of reliable sources to indicate notability is just not there. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 16:02, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. It is in fact the argument of Willjelbert that has convinced me that this article should be deleted, because the whole thing was just made up and voted for on Facebook. CtP  (t • c) 16:40, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
