It is WP:TOOSOON for an article on this WP:NEOLOGISM, which was introduced in a book, This Could be Our Future, published less than a year ago (in October 2019). The subject is only discussed at length in the publications and website by the author and in articles that are part of the book-launch publicity blitz. In other words, there is insufficient notability, and the existence of a Wikipedia article gives the appearance that the term is much more widely used and discussed than it really is.

Delete per WP:OR, WP:NEO, and WP:SIGCOV. We do not publish original research, nor are we Urban Dictionary. There is a single reliable source that is not by the author - an article in GQ. That does not satisfy significant coverage by any means. Bearian (talk) 19:50, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There are other mainstream sources not cited in the article, beyond what Bearian mentioned, but as I said above they are all part of the book-launch publicity blitz: essentially PR. Biogeographist (talk) 20:01, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
