delete, doesn't appear to be a term in common usage a search does show some but looks to be slang. — Hell In A Bucket (talk) 14:27, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Why should it be deleted? It is a term that every company that wants to have its own page in any social networking site should be familiar with. Which every entrepreneur should know for their success in social platforms. (copied and pasted by HiaB after refactoring my comment.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aishwaryaa Ravi (talk • contribs)
- Delete. No attempt made to show that anyone uses the term, still less that it is notable. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:30, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I can't find any useful evidence that any expert lexicographer thinks this term exists. And Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Ubelowme U Me 17:02, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - this is a real term used in the Social media industry, especially in regards to facebook. While there are lots of blogs[1] and howtos[2] and press releases[3] about the concept, I can't find enough mentions in reliable sources currently to show this as passing WP:NEO. -- Eclipsed (talk) (COI) 14:27, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
