The result was Speedy Delete per A5 - Transwiki'ed article. Article exists (almost verbatim) at Wiktionary. UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 13:01, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, a procedural note: The article was up for VFD in 2004, as noted by the nom, below. The VFD was archived at the article's talk page, which is now orphaned - so, the VFD debate and Transwiki notation have now been copied to Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Technomad for archival purposes. Thanks. UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 13:05, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Technomad

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

This article is nothing but a dictionary definition that duplicates the entry on Wiktionary to where it was transwikied in early 2007. The talk page contains a copy of a VfD discussion in 2004, that doesn't have a clearly defined outcome listed that I can see but would be closed today as "no consensus". The only changes since the end of that discussion have been:

The addition of more references that do nothing but note the existence of the word as no additional content has been added for them to reference
the addition of external links of varying relevance
The removal of an empty list of technomads
The addition of two see alsos
Various minor changes in what links where.

So in the past five years (minus about 3 weeks) this has not been extended to anything other than a dictionary definition I can't see that it can be. As all the content has already been transwikied to Wiktionary that is not necessary this time. Thryduulf (talk) 11:45, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ps: People last time suggested that there could be an article about the concept, but I don't see that there is a unique concept beyond what is already in perpetual traveller, nomad, telecommuting and RV lifestyle. Thryduulf (talk) 11:48, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
