Digital legacy

WP:NEO. I am unable to find any reliable source mentions of the term, "Digital legacy." It appears to be a term being promoted by Scott R. Zucker and Michael D. Roy. But I can't find reliable secondary source coverage to establish significant coverage. There IS coverage of "digital assets" - but that already has a separate article.

Delete. New concept without clear coverage in reliable sources. This would make a great essay on the website of a company selling services to preserve a person's digital assets after death. However, it does not read like an encyclopedia article, nor does it meet the Wikipedia requirements for notability and verifiability. —C.Fred (talk) 03:20, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment C.Fred - Exactly it is a new concept and therefore the reason why it should not be deleted, information on the subject is scant so any effort to combine and publish relevant information is useful, I do not know how to write like an "encyclopedia article" I'm sorry to say, but I am all ears fro advice Pagolding (talk) 07:03, 3 August 2011 (UTC) — Pagolding (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

If information is scant, Wikipedia is not the place to gather information; Wikipedia is not the place to publish original research on a subject. Topics must already be notable before an article is started on them. This lack of information is precisely the reason why this topic should not have an article (yet). —C.Fred (talk) 17:03, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete. Compare Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital estate planning, which seems to be another promotional article advertising the same notion. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:28, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
