Social Parking (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

Neologism. "Social parking" gets 717 Google hits,[1] but most of these are about real life (car) parking. "Social Parking" plus "domain name" (what this is all about) gives only 5 Google hits[2], none of them indicating that this is a notable concept. No relevant hits in Google Scholar[3] or Google News either. Fram 11:47, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This reference doesn't apply. A 'synthesis of commuter parking and community green space' is not what this topic is about. EdJohnston 05:01, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. No reliable sources comment on this term. What's provided here doesn't even satisfy the requirements of WP:NEO, to show that the word is generally accepted under this meaning and not a pure neologism. EdJohnston 05:01, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep because the entry generally makes sense. The author has cited relevant references as well. Fastabbas —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 23:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • CommentCited references are various Wikipeia articles. Not sure how that affects things. Closing admin, Fastabbas is a very new user. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 02:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Unless a reliable source can be produced. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:32, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
