Zergeisterung[edit]

ATTENTION!

If you came to this page because a friend asked you to do so, or because you saw a message on an online forum asking you to do so, please note that the deletion process is designed to determine the consensus of opinion of Wikipedia editors; for this reason comments from users whose histories do not show experience with or contributions to Wikipedia, and particularly, to this article, are traditionally given less weight and may be discounted entirely by the closing Administrator.

You are not barred from participating in the discussion, or making your opinion known here, no matter how new you may be: we welcome reasoned opinions and rational discussion based upon our policies and guidelines. However, ballot stuffing is pointless. There is no ballot to stuff, because this is not a vote. Please review Wikipedia:Deletion policy for more information.

This article is a nonsense. The term Zergeisterung is not a German word. On the German Wikipedia this article was repeatedly deleted. See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zergeisterung --Aox 08:24, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I found this a bit fishy when it was first created, but I don't speak German so I couldn't fact-check it and had to settle for labeling it as unsourced. --Icarus 21:05, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
DONT Delete. Its an intressting lemma, that could be build up. Waleswal 08:46, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok i will try to explain you why i want the lemmata kept. First of all user Aux is a bit dumb because he says "Zergeisterung is not a german word". Does he really think wikipedia decides what is a german word and what is not??? Zergeisterung is a new word and the german wikipedia thougth it isnt relevant enough. But IMHO Zergeisterung is relevant enough because i know (I) 3 books using the term, (II) Zergeisterung.de has about 600 aktive users and (III) we have enough google hits for relevance. 82.83.189.108 18:56, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and dont delete Analköter 18:23, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete First of all, if it's a German word and it's not relevant enough for the German Wikipedia, then why is it relevant for the English Wikipedia? Zergeisterung.de has no Alexa ranking, and a claim of 1000 members does not establish notability. On my Google search for the term pretty much all of the results were links to its own website, mirrors or Wikipedia, or links to web directories listing the website. Hardly a mention of the word at all from reliable sources. --TheKoG (talk|contribs) 19:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I found no English results when googling for the term, which implies that its use in English is limited. That it has been spammed (not even translated) into multiple languages also implies that it's nothing more than that: Spam. Jude (talk,contribs,email) 06:32, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-notable interwiki spam looking for a toehold. Splarka (rant) 07:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just to point out that Abacusmus and Hukke have only written on this page and the Zergeisterung, and only wrote on this page. ALso there has been a page entirly written in incorrect English over on ga.wikipedia.org and the Zergeisterung artical has been deleted on de:Zergeisterung. Fabhcún 11:33, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
