I deleted this as a PROD - suddenly it reappeared complete with outdated PROD banner - someone has recreated it from a cached copy. No point fixing PROD date if it going to be repeatedly recreated. Reason for PROD was "Non notable neologism, fails WP:GNG."  Ron h jones  (Talk) 11:17, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - no indication that any change has occurred that would make this term notable. Fenix down (talk) 15:56, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree article in present shape is substandard but there are numerous sources suggesting this is a valid term, of interest in the media, past neologism stage.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 21:46, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Further, the topic is encyclopedic and important, particularly as the younger generation becomes more prominent; there will be marketing ramifications, new technologies (adapted for the use of the thumb, not the forefinger), major societal implications (eg how will it affect interpersonal relationships? positively or negatively? etc). Even anthropologists are making use of the term as well as advertisers.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:53, 19 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep, appears to be in wide use as noted by multiple reliable sources. Thargor Orlando (talk) 12:20, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
