Seems to be a non-notable neologism invented by Austrian artist Ruediger John and Klaus Heid. I can't see anything to convince me otherwise, in German or English. Sionk (talk) 21:15, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete The article text is a strange combination of uncited high claims ("finally leaving behind", "advancement") and mundane how to guide. No evidence found to establish any notability. AllyD (talk) 20:55, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep butincubate. It's not a neologism; the phrase has been documented in English since at least 1992. It has been widely reported. Bearian (talk) 19:13, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I tried to fix it up a bit per WP:HEY. Bearian (talk) 19:42, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- No one will dispute that the words 'transfer' and 'art' occasionally appear in the same sentence. But the use of the phrase by John and Heid is still a neologism with no place for it in Wikipedia. There are already articles on Decals and Brass rubbing to cover the isolated instances you've come across (above). To re-write the article about something(s) completely different negates the purpose of this AfD, doesn't it? Sionk (talk) 20:03, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- You've actually made the article worse. It looks like WP:SYNTH now. Shii (tock) 01:13, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Sorry, I tried to fix it, anyway, per WP:BOLD. If the consensus is that my efforts made it worse, then go ahead and delete it. Bearian (talk) 14:10, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
