Non-notable term/field which seems to have only been studied by the group who coined it. It is currently only sourced by the group's own website and blog. I can find no independent, reliable sources discussing the subject. Sarahj2107 (talk) 12:59, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as a non-notable WP:NEOLOGISM. Joe Roe (talk) 14:46, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete not notable. It's still too much of a niche study. Created by SPA Ezequiel33, this group from Berlin has been pushing their work on the blog, twitter, facebook, etc. and it looks like Wikipedia was another stop on the social media promotion tour.
