  • Killographic "...is a new word spawned on Monday December 8th"". Andy Mabbett 16:11, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Beat me to it. Delete. Bmills 16:19, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Could be redirected to Video game controversy but if it isn't a real word, I'm not sure there's any benefit in that. Angela. 16:45, 11 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • I've added the definition, but even so, I don't think it's worth keeping here. Wiktionary, maybe. Or maybe not. Wait and see if the word catches on. Delete. Ortonmc 03:06, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • I had a description already up. It is not truely a real word yet. Words aren't considered 'real' until posted in an official dictionary. None of you however are making a strong point on why it should be deleted, except "it doesn't belong here". So I am saying to keep Fizscy46 04:09, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • I think it doesn't belong here because it is not an encyclopedia article, it is a poor dictionary entry for what may or may not turn out to be a word. Bmills 09:18, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
        • Of course its poor, I started it 24 hours ago. You have to give it some time to accumulate, rather then immediately delete it.Fizscy46 14:40, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • I think this only valid as an example of a word made up for political reasons, and if anything should be a redirect to page describing this. The article admits it was made up by a lobby group. The word itself does not deserve an entry - as if we do that we are just helping their campaign to bring their creation into common useage. (maybe compare with the US use of homicide bomber instead of suicide bomber, and the British use of asylum seeker rather than refugee.) Secretlondon 14:56, Dec 12, 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. Marginal neologism but political significance (motivation behind) of coinage justifies article. --Daniel C. Boyer 15:57, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Not encyclopedic -- BCorr ¤ Брайен 18:55, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Made up or not, it is still just a word and a definition. Move to Wikitionary or just delete. However, another option is to prepare an article on the "media" group, with this as an entry in that article - Marshman 01:26, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)

    • Delete, made up. Even if it wasn't, it would still be a dictionary definition. Maximus Rex 19:27, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)
