No independent indication of notability. Appears to be an effort to advertise an invention or a neologism. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:19, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I was also set to call b.s. on this but a Gbooks search indicates that such a term does exist, as a sort of variant of thesaurus -- one that I'd never heard of as a 58-year-old writer. Apparently geared more for students than writers, in that in addition to synonyms it supplies dictionary definitions and examples of usage? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:38, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It seems that the Longman Language Activator is the only widely published example (maybe there are others in different languages, and other volumes like Oxford Learner's Thesaurus: A Dictionary of Synonyms[1] seem to be similar in intention). It has at least one review[2]. There may be some notability, but it's not clear what title it should be under, or if a merge might be better. It should be clear that it is a real thing dating at least to the 1990s, not a new invention. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:32, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'd support a redirect, but I have no idea where. Power~enwiki (talk) 05:58, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
