WP:DICDEF article about a neologism that isn't even mentioned in the cited sources. I can't find any significant coverage of the term online, and thus falls short of WP:GNG. Redirecting to Acqui-hiring doesn't seem appropriate, as the only commonality is that they are portmanteaus about practices associated with business acquisitions, and "acquisourcing" is not mentioned in any capacity at Acqui-hiring. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 19:15, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nominator's rationale. I also failed to find usage of the term. Please ping me if good sources are identified. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:50, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, definitely not a notable term, fails WP:SIGCOV. No coverage of any kind found in reliable sources. SailingInABathTub ~~🛁~~ 00:27, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
