A neologism with no known use in RS. Fauzan ^{✆ talk}_{✉ mail} 15:43, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Language must be adaptive by nature or fail to be sufficient to articulate one's thoughts. As vacancies are discovered terms will take their place. Therefore the complaint that 'felicism' is a neologism is fair. However, if it can be agreed that there is a sufficient vacancy in the English language, namely a contrasting term for cynicism, then a term will eventually fill the void. The quickest and easiest way for a word to make the transition from a neologism to an accepted term is with the aid of widely read internet sources e.g. Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noyes.carlos (talk • contribs) 17:59, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am afraid, Wikipedia is not a platform for a term to make a transition from a neologism to a widely circulated word. Read WP:NOTNEO. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. --Fauzan ^{✆ talk}_{✉ mail} 06:16, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
