Gballywood Movies[edit]

Does not appear to be a notable term; a search for sources resulted only in a few unreliable Facebook hits. This isn't eligible for A11 since it appears to have not been coined by the article creator, but at best "Gballywood" appears to be a neologism. This isn't even a plausible redirect to Cinema of Liberia considering how little-used the term appears to be. ~~Note that the nickname of Liberian cinema is apparently "Lollywood" and not "Gballywood".~~ Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:14, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update: it appears that "Lollywood" in the sense of Liberian cinema is also possibly made-up by one person or a group of people, possibly connected to the sockpuppets mentioned below. I couldn't find a valid nickname for Liberian cinema at this point. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 23:46, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NOTMADEUP. I wonder if the person who created the Facebook page isn't the article creator. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:37, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There seems to also be an issue with sock or meatpuppets, who have been busy coining neologisms for Liberian cinema. This Gbally thing seems to have been concocted with then realized that Lollywood belonged to a different country -- and he or they have tried to redirect it to Liberian cinema.

The matter is at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Henrycolesmith -- for the second time, too. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:27, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - At best, this is a non-notable neologism. At worst, it is simply WP:MADEUP. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 16:57, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
