Wikigate
self-referential, neologism coined today apparently, of dubious notability beyond our borders Derex 16:41, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete an impressively neo neologism. MLA 16:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete neologism, but I didn't know that even congress cheats on the wiki biographies LOL Dr Debug (Talk) 19:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * see Requests for comment/United States Congress Derex 01:09, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - WP:NEO -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 20:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * it wasn't actually coined today. I was mistaken! I added to it, please check it again! --Smarbin 21:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * or at least I should say, it was also coined before today --Smarbin 21:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - has not gained notability yet; we don't even have an article on several of the topics (for instance, the Congressional astroturfing). Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note? ) 01:42, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I realize I am both new here, and in the minority on this talk page, but I have now posted 5 separate references to "wikigate." With all due respect, a google search for congressional astroturfing brings only one hit, and a google search for wikigate has 159. This seems at least worth of stub status to me. --Smarbin 16:18, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * will it last? we're not wikinews.  it's highly doubtful that in a month anyone outside wikipedia will remember this.  also congressional astroturfing is not a mainspace article; it's for internal use. Derex 19:08, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * When I created the RFC by the way, the entire user conduct format was just for kicks, I meant it just to centralise discussion. I did *not* expect it to be slashdotted. Elle vécut heureuse à jamais  (Be eudaimonic!) 05:08, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
