Talk:practopoiesis

RFV discussion: November 2014–February 2015
I suspect that this is a protologism. A recent editor claims that he coined the word earlier this year. —Stephen (Talk) 12:26, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * As you suspect, IMO. This doesn't seem to rise to the level of "hot word", but I wouldn't be surprised if it were attestable in a year or so. DCDuring TALK 13:23, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Another problem is the definition. "Creation of actions" does not seem to mean anything more than "doing" or "implementing". Unless it has more meaning, I don’t see it being used by anyone else. —Stephen (Talk) 13:49, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I've only noticed cases like this of somewhat lame academic efforts to promote a word/concept. There must be similar cases that are not quite as lame.
 * But scholarly publishing is even worse than Usenet in terms of potential and incentive to engage in activity that, in effect if not in intent, games our attestation criteria. A secure researcher with graduate students or subordinates (in non-academic environment) or a 'school' of followers (former graduate students) can more or less compel the juniors to publish using the word/concept. Our 'independence' criteria are not usually interpreted in such a way as to catch such cases. DCDuring TALK 17:20, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Even so, it's a crap definition. SemperBlotto (talk) 22:13, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

I have added citations and a more detailed definition (Danko Nikolic).


 * I've gone ahead and deleted this, since the entry was created by the inventor of the word (he should use WT:LOP), and his citations are inadequate, including a Weblog; they must meet WT:CFI. Equinox ◑ 18:35, 13 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Striking. Equinox ◑ 23:19, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Later
I have now updated the citations with five references (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Citations:practopoiesis), none of which refers to a Weblog. All but one reference are to a peer-reviewed publication. Perhaps now the entry can pass RfV. At least, I hope so.(Dankonikolic (talk) 11:51, 21 July 2015 (UTC))


 * Um, you realise one of them is German. You're trying to support an English word here. Equinox ◑ 09:12, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
