Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Enblog

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Enblog was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to delete.

It's nice when it gives its own justification: "The neologism "to enblog", analogous to the verb "to endorse", has been created on his weblog by Lawrence Lessig on Oct 29, 2004..." Adam Bishop 01:44, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

What is your objection? That it is a term/concept created earlier today, or that it is a dictionary definition? If it is the second, perhaps we could fix it.--Clipdude 01:55, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Dang! The word was created hours ago and expanded upon minutes ago! Neologism and dictdef. The term is not stable, not in use for enough time to achieve permeation. Just a clever idea, not an article. Delete. Geogre 02:46, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Experimental memetics is fine; not here please? --jpgordon{gab} 02:49, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Isn't the beauty of the web, and that of Wikipedia to be quick? If the word shows to be unable to survive, we can delete the article anyway. In the meantime shouldn't we keep it until Nov 3, at least? I would also like to see if we can improve it maybe. DavidOrban 23:05, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
    • I think you are confused about the purpose of Wikipedia. --jpgordon{gab} 23:21, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, very little potential to be encyclopedic and verifiable, I kinda hope this term doesn't catch on, its very confusing, as it also seems like "embossing" a blog :-/ siroχo 08:46, Oct 31, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Neologism. Seems like a bad idea to create a portmanteau in which the only trace of one word is a prefix in its own right...very confusing (I would've expected it to mean "to put in a blog"). Gwalla | Talk 23:41, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. I agree with Gwalla. Axl 21:04, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
