Not even a neologism, a term used in a fictional book. No notability. TransporterMan (TALK) 20:25, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep (by article creator): It is true that the term was first used in fiction in the 1950's, but now we actually have such a profession, and I for one would like to honor the original name for it. (p.s. the term Faximile macine (i.e. FAX) was first coined by Joul verne in a fiction) Idzuhare (talk) 20:49, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete A quick check of Google and Google Books shows that this word is being used. I like it. However WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. There is little information about real-life nexialists in the article, just dictionary info on the word itself -- plus some vague statements about what a nexialist should be like. Wiktionary is the place for this, if they don't have the information already.Borock (talk) 22:56, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, not enough widespread use of the term. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 06:01, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: That the article creator wishes to memorialize the term is all very well and good, but Wikipedia is not a webhost. Perhaps he could create a website where he can promote use of the term. Ravenswing 11:27, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
