eBay effect

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This fails WP:GNG. Although I can find instances of the term "eBay Effect", they don't support the definition given here. This term does not appear to be notable. The article was speedy deleted previously and has been recreated with references that don't support the content. Tchaliburton (talk) 18:15, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete If it was AfD before and was deleted, and then recreated, then delete it. Even if it has a good source, this belongs in the wiktionary. Frmorrison (talk) 20:20, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep This term is used over the years by those who have anything that once was worth something only to find it now common on the net. Looked around on net and found many references the way the term "eBay Effect" is described and is correct. Try looking up "eBay Effect" and collectable. I kind of get the feeling creating an article is getting harder. Septagram (talk) 20:59, 22 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. Near-enough made-up. Certainly a neologism with inadequate supporting evidence. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:38, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unfortunately the author has attempted to go down a neologistic path. The term has been coined by many people and has different meanings in different books.  - Pmedema (talk) 00:05, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - I've heard of this neologism, but this is not even the definition. Bearian (talk) 20:27, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge - I've heard of this before but I don't think it warrants it's own article, at least not as it is. I think merging it with the main eBay article would be best. Coinmanj (talk) 20:13, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
