 * There is an entry for it on wp - orphan initialism. There are also some examples of use on google - e.g.. I think it's a valid entry to include. You can't discern its meaning from the parts. Jamesjiao → T ◊ C 03:54, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * One web hit from an ordinary website, which we deem non-durably archived, is not very helpful for attestation. I also would argue that in any context in which initialism is understood this is NISOP. I felt misled by the representation that its meaning can't be discerned from the parts.

 * I think the meaning can be guessed at, but not with certainty. Polarpanda 14:13, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I was not able to guess it. The problem is not with initialism, but with orphan: its meaning is not obvious in this case. Lmaltier 21:11, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
