Zambranaing

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable neologism. Wikipedia is not for things you made up one day. No evidence that this word has any widespread usage. Prod removed without comment by original author. So here we are at AFD. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:57, 23 August 2013 (UTC) Anything not on Wiki is non-notable. So it will be notable when it's on Wiki Enorris83 (talk) 16:44, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NEO. Google doesn't have much to say on this term, to say the least.  Gong   show  16:26, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Zambranaing is legit in the cycling community and is quickly growing. How do you define when something has much to say about something? Enorris83 (talk) 16:42, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Please look at the page and all of the photos of cyclists Zambranaing across the country and even in Portugal. It's going viral! Enorris83 (talk) 16:47, 23 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment Things do not become notable because they are on Wikipedia; things are on Wikipedia because they are already notable elsewhere. Basically, if anyone can provide evidence of widespread use of this term, please do so.  (Note, a bunch of pictures of cyclists in the countryside is not proof of widespread use of the term; it is merely proof that many cyclists enjoy this type of portrait.)

 * Comment There is a definition for this type of specific portrait and it is being recognized as zambranaing. What other evidence would you like? It's legit! Check out the EXIF data on the photos. These were all taken recently. It's not a coincidence Enorris83 (talk) 16:55, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Zambranaing is a specific photographic pose, widely used throughout the Florida cycling community. Harmless and fun. Whats the big deal ?16:59, 23 August 2013 (UTC)Jimifakawi (talk)
 * Comment WhereToCrank.Com - The State of Florida's official Mountain Biking Page is discusing #zambranaing More proof Enorris83 (talk) 17:11, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - at least Alex Zambrana seems to exist . Its creation date of today, its strong US-centrism, purported origin on Facebook, all point to WP:MADEUP. By the way, if that photo is by Zambrana, are we sure of its copyright status? Also, if it came from Facebook, there should be a link to where the image came from. Chris857 (talk) 18:00, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep it Eclipseracingteam.com just posted about it as well. Copyright status is fine. I have written permission. How is this bothering or so offensive to you guys? There are bigger issues in this world. Keep the page :) It's a riot :)
 * Keep it The original Zambranaing photo was created roughly a month ago by the way and has taken off since.
 * Keep it On MTBR.com as well
 * The three "keep it"s are all user:216.23.100.126. The sites mentioned are a blog, and various forums posts. Chris857 (talk) 20:14, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Chris857 Are you really affected by zambranaing? It has been proven that it's going on across the country. Are forums, websites and blogs all pertaining to the activity of zambranaing not enough to validate zambranaing? What else do you people wants? Enorris83 (talk) 20:43, 23 August 2013 (UTC)

Delete it. Zambranaing is supposed to be a "fad" but its not. It has been admitted to be only a joke on the MTBR website in the General subforum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.107.177.23 (talk) 21:43, 24 August 2013 (UTC) How is this any different than tebowing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.229.247.234 (talk) 01:05, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep it Another vote for keeping it. I run Eclipse Racing Team and the blog and am not related to user ENorris83. We have thousands of views per week and we're promoting what has already become a trend in South Florida Cycling. Just as the Critical Mass monthly bike ride has grown from dozens to THOUSANDS of participants, when South Florida gets behind something. It BECOMES a trend. This page resurfacing will be inevitable. This Wiki should stay. EclipseRacing (talk) 23:04, 23 August 2013 (UTC) — EclipseRacing (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete. A neologism with no evidence of notability nor any coverage by independent sources per WP:RS. Fails WP:GNG. freshacconci talk to me  23:51, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep it Best wiki in a while. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.229.247.234 (talk) 01:06, 24 August 2013 (UTC) — 66.229.247.234 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete - WP:NEO. Would have taken this to SPI, but looking closer, I figure that they're different people - the IP that posted 3 keep votes is clearly also the article creator (enorris) logged out. Besides the canvassing, everything seems to be in good faith. Ansh666 01:43, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not appear to have any coverage in any kind of reliable source, and none of those arguing in its defence have shown any. I doubt even Urban Dictionary would accept something with this level of sourcing, much less Wikipedia. Mogism (talk) 16:27, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable WP:NEO. StevenD99  Talk &#124;  Stalk 23:04, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * @66.229.247.234: tebowing is discussed widely in reliable sources, such as Time, NYT, and has a lasting impact, for example, in recognition as an English word and as a feature in a video game. Chris857 (talk) 02:30, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * And with all that, it still doesn't get its own article. Ansh666 02:50, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Please, men and women of the jury, let it be known Tebowing does have it's own article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tebowing#Tebowing Enorris83 (talk) 13:40, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Clearly, Enorris83 does not understand the nature of a Wikipedia redirect page. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:16, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Not to mention that tebowing is an established term and has extensive, non-trivial media coverage in reliable sources not connected to the subject. Zambranaing does not. It is a new term with no coverage other than a few forums. freshacconci talk to me  14:20, 26 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NEO. I can find zero instances of use in reliable sources.    78.26   (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 14:45, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
