No evidence of notability: the only references are to the work of the person who coined the word, & the article clearly expresses that person's opinion. More like an essay expounding Gordon's views than an encyclopaedia article. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:18, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - From what I see, there's no article for Edwin Gordon and no other good move target with my searches finding particularly good here, here, here, here and here. SwisterTwister talk 06:28, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not a dictionary here and opinion piece. Kierzek (talk) 18:46, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - even less a private dictionary. No sources to establish notability.Pincrete (talk) 00:37, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The word does seem to have received some usage beyond Edwin Gordon: [1], [2], [3], [4]. This is likely not enough to assert notability, though. Daß Wölf (talk) 02:20, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
