Malice Engineering

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

seems to be a neologism. see talk page. I can't find any references. The article has already been copied to the userspace; since it was PROD already, it has to go through AfD now. KarlB (talk) 20:07, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The subject of this article certainly seems notable. In fact we have related articles such as security engineering and secure coding. The term malice engineering may be somewhat less notable until we can find more reliable sources for it. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 19:50, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
as you can see from the talk page, this quote especially: "What's needed is a term that specifically handles the practice/discipline/art/science of fighting those with evil intent in the technological, system, and now ever more cyber fields.". I don't doubt that the creator of this article works in this space, but so far the literature doesn't seem to have created a term, other than the typical 'security'-type terms for this situation. Also see this quote from the security article: "Security has to be compared to related concepts: safety, continuity, reliability. The key difference between security and reliability is that security must take into account the actions of people attempting to cause destruction.". So I'm actually not sure a *new* term is needed, and in any case it's not our job to help create new terms...--KarlB (talk) 19:58, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete material already covered in Security engineering. WP is not the place to invent new terminology. --Kvng (talk) 17:08, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - this term may take off, but it doesn't yet satisfy WP:NEO. JohnCD (talk) 08:38, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
