Tagged for notability since 2010. Seems to have been a neologism. Other than the one repeated source, the others don't seem to use the term, though they use the concept. Fails WP:GNG. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:58, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question Has anyone been able to access and check Reference 1? If the term is used significantly in that book then it may be a notable concept. But I agree with nom that the article seems to have a lot of SYNTH, bringing together selected examples that never actually talk about the concept. If it is kept, the article needs a major rewrite. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:23, 9 August 2023 (UTC) Keep I managed to find a couple of references to the concept: [1][2][3]. However, the term doesn't seem to be very widely used, and a search of "plasticity product" mostly gets you articles on geotechnical and soil science, where it of course has a different meaning. So maybe a disambiguation page or a change of title to "plasticity product (neurobiology)", or something like that, would be a good idea. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:49, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the first two papers located by WeirdNAnnoyed are authored by the coiner of the term, and the last is a single mention rather than an explanation of the term. Would change my mind if "plasticity product" was discussed at some length in a secondary source like a review article or a textbook. Otherwise, as the nomination points out, it looks like a non-notable WP:NEO. 〈 Forbes₇₂ | Talk 〉 02:41, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not a coinage that has had any substantial uptake. XOR'easter (talk) 00:09, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Appears to be a protologism, meaning it isn't even eligible for transwiki to Wiktionary. Google ngram viewer shows 0 hits; pubmed shows no instances of "plasticity product". --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:49, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
