WP:N, WP:NEO, WP:OR. Note especially "Smart Montage was a phrase coined by Brigid Maher... in August 2009", and the article creator was Bamaher. I42 (talk) 15:17, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Delete. Non-notable neolgism: "a phrase coined by Brigid Maher.... in August 2009." Self promotion, and what's further, the idea adds little that's not already captured by calling someting a "montage" or "video mashup". This is old wine in new po-mo academic bottles. Hairhorn (talk) 16:56, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with Hairhorn who continues to edit out the references to the links. Spatial montage and mash ups are used to create intellectual statements similar to Eisenstein's intellectual montage. This is evident in Tracey Fragments as well as the other examples that get deleted. This term has already gone into use in academic circles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.33.252.6 (talk) 17:29, 13 August 2009 (UTC) — 68.33.252.6 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Um, please have a look at the edit history. I have made only one edit to your page, a prod for deletion on August 12; I have not touched the body of the article. Most of your links were removed by automated bots that weed out spam links. And please tell me how your neologism has caught on with academics over a matter of days... Google scholar has exactly one hit for "smart montage", an economics book (in German). Hairhorn (talk) 17:53, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete as neologism. Come back when the concept is adequately and independently sourced. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 18:07, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, Non-notable neologism, probably still a protologism. WuhWuzDat 19:01, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:NEO: "Articles on protologisms are usually deleted as these articles are often created in an attempt to use Wikipedia to increase usage of the term." - that seems to be the case here, with the author posting her new phrase within days of inventing it.
