I added three citations, and found more, but then I realized that they do not really meet our criterion of independence. The term was apparently coined by Barend Mons in 2013, and his name appears on all the cites I listed. It was picked up by a group of others, most notably Mark Thompson, Herman H.H.B.M. van Haagen, and Erik A. Schultes. However, I do not see any citations that do not include one or more of this cohort. Given all the multi-authorships, I found at most two cites that do not have overlapping authorship.

 * So, professors should pressure at least two colleagues to publish papers using terms the professor has coined if the term is to appear here. What saves us from such cruft is that usually the professor would want to be among the authors of such papers. DCDuring (talk) 22:12, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Indeed, professors care more about the size of their publication lists (which affects tenure) than they care about having their coined terms appearing in Wiktionary. Terms will appear here if they catch on and other academics start using them. Kiwima (talk) 22:42, 12 January 2022 (UTC)


 * What?! Their priorities are all wrong. Equinox ◑ 19:11, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
