Technomyopia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Someone deprodded, so here I am. Term is not notable. It was coined by non-notable author in a non-notable book. The only citations on the article are the book itself; there are no secondary/reliable sources. Searching google for more references only turned up tiny blogs and an Urban Dictionary entry -- not enough to establish notability. Iago Qnsi (talk) 01:08, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Given the fair amount of popularity this term might get from urban dictionary, it may be a notable word someday, but as of now it's way WP:TOOSOON to start an article about this. editorEهեইдအ😎 00:27, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Retain. A Google Scholar search on term returns 44 hits on the scholarly literature. I'm a prof who assigns this reading in a course and my students created the stub. If you can wait until June 2016, I'll ask other students to add more sources and show how term is used in different ways by scholars.Communic8te (talk) 22:38, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * This discussion will likely be closed within a week or two. You're welcome to make a userspace draft version of the article that your students can add to in June 2016 (assuming the current version of the article gets deleted). - Iago Qnsi (talk) 06:15, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, your argument is not valid per Wikipedia's policy of WP:GOOGLEHITS. The mere popularity of a term on the internet does not imply the underlying subject is notable. Tigraan (talk) 13:43, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:NEO/WP:GNG. There may be a good case for the notability of the book, which could mention this term, but as there are no secondary sources whatsoever here there's nothing to merge. No objections to a redirect should someone create an article about the book, though. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 20:52, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
