RFV discussion: April–July 2015
Neologism or protologism? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 21:07, 4 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Widely mentioned (but not widely used?) on the Web. A candidate for the "hot word" tag and later revisiting, perhaps? Equinox ◑ 21:09, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Hot words need citations, right? Just ones that span less than a year going back from now. Renard Migrant (talk) 18:03, 6 April 2015 (UTC)


 * RFV-failed. Nothing on Google Books, Scholar, or Groups. - -sche (discuss) 22:26, 26 July 2015 (UTC)


 * I think this word has made it now, but some of the BGC hits are a little iffy — what do you guys think? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 07:01, 4 July 2019 (UTC)


 * This is, I suppose, a use; it's Glick using it in a headline somewhere non-durable but then being in effect quoted somewhere (a book) that is (apparently?) durable and citable:


 * 2017, Paul Bradshaw, The Online Journalism Handbook: Skills to Survive and Thrive in the Digital Age, Routledge (ISBN 9781317645139), bibliography:
 * Glick, Jonathan. Rise of the platishers, Recode, 7 February 2014, www.recode.net/2014/2/7/11623214/rise-of-the-platishers
 * Several of the other instances set it off in quotation marks or as "so-called platishers" or as "called a platisher", but maybe there are better hits on Issuu or somewhere...
 * Btw, just noting for anyone who's not an admin and can't see it in the old revision history, the definition was "a company that has an open content management system for contributors." - -sche (discuss) 15:50, 4 July 2019 (UTC)


 * It is in our interests to be extremely suspicious of neologisms that refer to some kind of saleable business shittery or "entrepreneur" stuff. They are generally the worst and tackiest kind of self-promotion. I am constantly appalled by how much this rubbish makes inroads into what was once a useful, academic, intelligent Internet. I know spam will win, in the same way that horrible "reality TV" has slowly beaten to death the quiet, thoughtful, careful documentaries of the BBC. But I'll fight because why not. And I'm looking at you too, Google, literally blocking images to suck the dick of a stock-image corporation. Equinox ◑ 09:03, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
