Keep. Not a dicdef, but a short encyclopedia article in need of expansion. —Angr (talk) 06:02, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Disagree that it's a dicdef any more than retronym is, for example. When the article is properly fleshed out it could, presumably, include a considerable amount of further information so it seems to me to justify an encyclopedia article.--Korruski (talk) 11:23, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a known linguistic phenomenon not only defined but analyzed and described in multiple published sources. It needs expansion, but has already begun to expand beyond the original "Word word" page. The four papers listed (but not yet cited in-line) show that the topic satisfies WP:GNG.
