Essay on a probably non-notable neologism in technology and computing. Seng Loke, a computer scientist at Deakin University ([1]) is an author or co-author in all the works cited in this article. Searching for "device ecology" -loke on Scholar yields 177 results, which isn't nothing, but I'm not sure it's sufficient for a standalone article. For ease of reference, the top hits are doi:10.1145/2669485.2669493 (44 cites) and doi:10.1145/1520340.1520661 (10 cites). I considered a redirect to information ecology but it appears only vaguely related. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 04:08, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep [2] [3] [4] - A lot of articles in the literature that uses (Device ecology) - This is enough to pass WP:GNG. Charmk (talk) 13:54, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:NOTCLEANUP. This is clearly a thing as we are increasingly surrounded by a plethora of smart devices. The term "ecology" may be even be quite literal as, for example, the lighting in my aquarium is controlled by an app on my smartphone or the ambient air is filtered by a networked purifier, which continuously monitors the air quality. It is regularly amusing when a video on one device says something which makes the other devices spring to attention, such as "ok, Google". You then get a babble as they start trying to talk to each other. Wikipedia already has AI bots and just wait until it is voice-controlled too... Andrew🐉(talk) 10:33, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
