Virality[edit]

Seems to be someone's personal invention. A search yields no results [1]. meshach (talk) 21:57, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

please revert back to the original text (simple dab page without all the crap). "Virality" is a commonly used term. — Pengo 22:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as neologism. Virality is not an actual word see http://dictionary.cambridge.org/results.asp?searchword=Virality&x=0&y=0 as an example. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 00:23, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Revert to the disambiguation page. Were it possible to expel neologisms by fiat from the English language, I would have sanitized this one with bleach a long time ago, along with viral phenomenon itself. Phrases like viral phenomenon are fungal phenomena in any case. But virality is a regular formation, people are going to use it, and as such the disambiguation page is likely useful. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

keep and expand. We do not limit ourselves to what less comprehensive information sources include--certainly not to a school dictionary for second language learners like the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary. DGG (talk) 20:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Its not in the Oxford English Dictionary either; is that more to your liking? If you'd bothered to read the words "as an example" you might've saved the sneering. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 00:33, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
