First, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Second, I can't even find evidence that this word exists, other than fewer than two dozen likely ad hoc coinages that Google comes up with, none of them describing people. Largoplazo (talk) 02:38, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete WP:NOTADICTIONARY applies. I'm pretty sure this exists, as I looked it up before prodding it and otherwise would have speedyed it, but as the nom says it is a very uncommon phrase. InsertCleverPhraseHere 03:13, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete WP:NOTADICTIONARY is applicable in this case. This is an actual word. A google web search reveals one source from several links on the search page, that use the word to describe opposite occurring circumstances during some sort of archaic period. [1] - it seems to be related to antonym. Also, this does not seem to be a widely used word, but that is not relevant to this discussion ----Steve Quinn (talk) 04:07, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article's creator gave us technonaut too, a few years ago. A quick search reveals no person, concept, place, or thing by this name. This is not a subject and is unverifiable. The usage, primarily only by Louis Israel Newman, indicates that a redirect to antonym may be appropriate. Uncle G (talk) 10:08, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Obviously WP:NOTADICTIONARY. I would come up with "antonymous" for the adjectival form, if pressed. It's not an encyclopedic subject, in any case. Would not be opposed to redirect to antonym. MisterRandomized (talk) 10:12, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. --Dcirovic (talk) 15:21, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Transwiki Delete WP:NOTADICTIONARY it should been transwikied into wikitionary. KGirlTrucker87 talk what I'm been doing 16:40, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's only in running prose with a consistent meaning in the writings of one person. It's a protologism at best, and I suspect insufficiently attested. Anyway, the definition that Wiktionary would want is not this content, which doesn't match Newman's usage. Uncle G (talk) 20:50, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NOTADICTIONARY and a not a notable word. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 18:47, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Given the dearth of hits on Google, this seems to be made up by the article creator. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:46, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
