E-dentity[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article opens with a definition of E-dentity saying that its meaning is the reputation given to an internet user by combining the information from associable usernames and other data on the internet. That definition is unreferenced. The next part of the article says that E-dentity is someone’s identity in the online healthcare world. That definition is supported by one reference (ref 1, Guenther) and is different, though slightly similar, from the original definition given. References 2 and 3 (both by Ouzounian) talk about a play called "E-dentity", not the word nor do they ever use E-dentity as anything other than the name of the play and therefor are not relevant.

Comment I'm not wise enough to say delete or keep in this case. For the play E-dentity, it does back up the definition of the word, but I don't it should be mentioned. There are better refs out there. The last two sentences of the paragraph are copyvio. I'm not seeing anything with a general web search except for a company call E-dentity. They have multiple web fronts. Newspaper sources include Los Angeles Times in 1999 and The Mark, but only a few other sources. Google books has multiple books. Would this be better at wikitionary?

I don't know what wikitionary's policy on notability is but yes, being a word, it probably should be on wikitionary instead. Anyway, I don't think that being the name of a play supports the definiton of the word. PhantomTech (talk) 20:59, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
