Wikipedia neologism

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails GNG and runs into trouble with WP:NEO. Frankly, I had a hard time just figuring out what the subject of this article is. There may be a few sources talking about neologisms' place on Wikipedia, but the concept of a "Wikipedia neologism," as the article itself states, is a neologism. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 05:10, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Question: What is the topic of this article? Neologisms that can be found on Wikipedia? Neologisms popularized by Wikipedia? Neologisms first used on Wikipedia? —Granger (talk · contribs) 13:00, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - obviously notable, just previously not titled as with all the other "Wikipedia and..." articles. I have moved it. Wikipedia and neologisms would include all 3 of the above: Neologisms that can be found on Wikipedia? Neologisms popularized by Wikipedia and Neologisms first used on Wikipedia.

 * Delete? - From what I can tell, this is some sections hobbled together based on times that neologisms in the context of Wikipedia were discussed. There's not a coherent line connecting it, and the general topic of neologisms in Wikipedia does not seem to have adequate coverage to justify existence outside the individual articles for the two topics.--Yaksar (let's chat) 07:36, 8 October 2014 (UTC) I still am not a fan of the cobbled nature of the article and worry that it is potentially a synthesis, but I'm holding off on this !vote until I have had more time to look through sourcing.--Yaksar (let's chat) 07:03, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * delete chaotic original research based on WP:SYNTH. "wikipedia and" is a slippery slope -No.Altenmann >t 04:02, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Part of the problem is that the article is a mess -- so much so that, as noted above, it's not clear what the article is even supposed to be about. Too much is unsourced or WP:OR; all that would need to be deleted. After the start of this AfD, the title of the article was changed -- presumably to help with this dilemma. However, as a result, the body of the article is now in conflict with the title. There's probably a valid article having something to do with Wikipedia and neologisms, but all I can think of for this article is WP:TNT. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 00:27, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
