Deprodded 11 months ago without comment. I've found no sources that even use this term, only Wikipedia mirrors. The refs don't support the term at all. WP:NEO. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:31, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Keep I did see quite a few uses of the expression using a Google books search. Sometimes it's spelled Hyper-collaboration. I'm not sure if it really is a distinct thing that should have an article, or if it's just a form of Collaboration. BigJim707 (talk) 02:39, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to virtual collaboration. The Google Books references are few in number and only refer to hyper-collaboration in passing - not enough to satisfy WP:NEO. Virtual collaboration, while in dire need of sourcing itself, appears to be both largely synonymous with hyper-collaboration and a legitimate article topic. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 06:42, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, or perhaps redirect Seems a clear NEOlogism. Could perhaps redirect to Collaborative software (the widely used term Groupware redirects there already) or Computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) which is well established (though that article needs a lot of tidying also). The term 'Distributed Project Teams' (or just 'Distributed projects') is also in wide use, though not yet the subject of its own WP article ;-} it appears.

Delete. Transparent, trivial, and non-notable neologism: Hypercollaboration is a process where two or more people or organizations work together to realize shared goals on multiple tasks, in real-time, virtually being present in more than one place at the same time, in effect cloning oneself, to maximizing efficiency and effectiveness. In other words, it's just like collaboration, only more XTREEM!!!! - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 18:06, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete and Redirect to Virtual collaboration. Many of the words/phrases in this article were exactly the same as in Collaboration. I removed those phrases: they were plagaristic padding, and IMO were trying to disguise that this is an uncited neologism without a proper reliable source. I removed several references that were NOT specifically germane. I removed material that was egregiously advertorial in tone as well as an advertorial link. The pivot to this AfD seems to me to be whether what remains is independently notable or just a cute neologism. If someone wants to give the article some cred, getting real back up WP:RS would kind of be necessary. FeatherPluma (talk) 00:32, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect to virtual collaboration as above. Suggest also creating Online collaboration as a redirect to the same place. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:57, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
