Not speedy deletion as it sounds like legit science (ology and all that, it just sounds like something there should be an ology for, intelligence), I just cannot find any sources. Slatersteven (talk) 18:07, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Even if legit, this article is merely a dictionary entry. However, the fact it doesn't appear in the Collins English Dictionary (though does appear in the Urban Dictionary) leads me to think it's made up; at best a recent neologism. Dorsetonian (talk) 18:15, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. My impression is that this is an attempt to make an almost non-existing word appear like a well-established term that is worthy of an encyclopedic article, in order to pave the way for future advertising activities. --Anna C. (talk) 19:08, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete NN Academic-sounding term that is not used in scholarly sources, and seems to be otherwise nonexistent. Acebulf (talk) 02:44, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wikipedia is not the place for stuff made up one day, neologisms that have had no significant uptake, or advertisements. XOR'easter (talk) 15:12, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
