This article is a mere definition of a term only included in a short story. However, per WP:NOT, such articles should not be kept. Also, there is no supported claim of notability for this very term. So I believe that the article should be deleted. Kostas20142 (talk) 20:52, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As per this nomination (and my PROD), this is only a would-be dictionary definition, and there is no evidence that the term is used outside the story. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:52, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and WP:NOTDICT. The word is sometimes used in Swedish [1], and is even included in the major encyclopedia Nationalencyklopedin [2]. That's not an argument for keeping the article, not least because this is the English Wikipedia, and as far as I know the word is never used in English. Sjö (talk) 06:44, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
