Article was deprodded, but same reason still stands. Since the article originally claimed the word was just established less than a month ago, and has now been changed to about 13 months ago, this seems to clearly fall into WP:NEO as an effort to establish usage, and as such should be deleted.

Delete. I see no evidence that this neologism is in common use, and even if it were, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:33, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The Moroccoan blogosphere is clearly a coherent topic worth discussing and 'blogma' is a widely used term: defined as such in the book International blogging: identity, politics, and networked publics By Adrienne Russell, Nabil Echchaibi pg. 143 and defined in an AFP article. jorgenev 04:59, 12 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:00, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

transwiki/move transwiki the word to wiktionary, based on jorgenev's sources; move references to Internet censorship in Morocco. Further secondary sources would be needed for a full article. If further WP:RS can be found, Moroccan blogosphere would be a better name for the topic (with Blogma as a redirect). That name would make it clear that the article isn't about the word itself, and make the topic more evident from the title for novices. Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 02:25, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
