Clearly a neologism, not notable enough for its own article. Instead, move the content to wiktionary. JustMakeTheAccount (talk) 12:08, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

- Yes, of course it is a neologism, but how that could be a criteria for deletion? What's needed is enough reliable sources to support it, not if it's a word and concept created only a few years ago. You can't argue it's not notable without giving any reason. Is it supported by sources? Yes. Are there enough reliable sources? Maybe that can be discussed, even if I doubt that peer-reviewed articles written by scholars in litterature, and articles published in prominent media such as The Guardian, Wired or The Wall Street Journal can be considered not reliable and not notable enough.

- Speedy keep per criterion 3 (no accurate deletion rationale). There's plenty of SIGCOV in the article right now. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 16:25, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
