E-skill

This page reads a lot like an ad for something that's not really defined well (ICT; the entry on the disambig page for that is two red links and a poorly-written description). Google search turns up about 650 hits for the query ict "e-skill" -wikipedia and many (most? it's hard to tell) have no relation to this usage. —LrdChaos 19:58, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

After looking at the disambig page again, this seems to make a little more sense. The page doesn't really provide any context (which, I know, isn't grounds for deletion), but this still seems like a non-notable term/concept (< 650 Ghits for the search string '"e-skill" ict -wikipedia'). —LrdChaos 20:01, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I'm hearing this term a lot these days, and it gets a lot of Google hits. --Allen 04:03, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: "I'm hearing this term" doesn't say much for its verifiability. Stifle 00:16, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
    • It's just a heuristic I use. I don't know that it's verifiable, but things I hear a lot about, that aren't closely related to my own life or work, are often verifiable. For me, that's enough to keep the stub around for a few months, in case someone can verify it. I don't care much about this particular article, but since you commented I wanted to explain my thinking. (Also, I just noticed that the article has been around for six months already, which does make me feel less strongly about keeping it.) --Allen 04:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete even if it's a term growing in popularity, it's still a term, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Fishhead64 07:11, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:WINAD. Stifle 00:16, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
