I couldn't find a single reliable source that shows this particular usage of the word "propheteer". A notice on the article requesting sources since July 2008 has drawn no response. First Light (talk) 03:45, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked, and obtained the same result. I can find sources that discuss Max Apple's novel The Propheteers, sources that talk about Propheteering (AfD discussion) (albeit that quite a few of the latter state explicitly that they are making up a nonce name, and they don't all agree on what is being named), and one source that is simply using a nonce word as an eye-catching title and is actually, in its body, discussing the growth in popularity of prediction. I can find no sources at all documenting this claimed type of activity. This is unverifiable. Delete and make way for Propheteer (disambiguation). Uncle G (talk) 13:45, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
