Non-notable topic/WP:NOTDICT. Would consider a wiktionary redirect, but the wiktionary entry was deleted last year as a "Creative invention or protologism: please see WT:CFI" (CFI refers to Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion). (t · c) buidhe 02:40, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I declined a speedy on this because (surprisingly enough) a quick Google search revealed multiple press reports, many in reliable sources, about the family's attempts to get this word into dictionaries. I think it's possible that it's notable. There are four pages of hits on Google news search (link in template) and most look credible. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:16, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If so (and I'd argue WP:NOTNEWS) the topic of the article needs to be "2021 campaign to coin the word orbisculate" rather than the concept itself. (t · c) buidhe 03:40, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Depended if the campaign is even notable. This looked like an attempt by few people, delete. – The Grid (talk) 03:53, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Would not object to moving it to refocus on the campaign. This seems like the sort of area that traditional encyclopedias ignore & Wikipedia can be good at; there's a lot of similar material that gets into DYK. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:35, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - 1) we're not a dictionary; 2) deliberate WP:NEOlogism. It was rightly deleted from Wiktionary also, which is a dictionary but at least it has standards. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:39, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
