Etymology

I can't see anything in the article about the etymology of the word "Chanology". Is it derived from 4chan/711chan? If so (or even if not), surely there's a reliable source somewhere that can be found for it? Not knowing where the name came from is a serious limitation of the article. 2001:BB6:4713:4858:D58E:EA80:4B3D:5445 (talk) 13:19, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found it out by myself. 2001:BB6:4713:4858:D58E:EA80:4B3D:5445 (talk) 18:32, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

-:I agree. This is getting a lot of play over at [[Digg]] and other social media sites ([http://www.digg.com/world_news/War_Breaks_Out_Between_Hackers_and_Scientology here] [http://www.digg.com/odd_stuff/ANON_release_Scientology_secret_DOX here] [http://reddit.com/info/66equ/comments/ and here] for some examples). One of those links to a [[Wired (magazine)|Wired]] article and I'm sure we can find lots of other news articles detailing this. I certainly wouldn't "speedy" delete this.

-Although I do think this whole thing is quite funny, 13 year old script kiddies on 4chan aren't significant enough for a Wikipedia article, especially without citations. DDoSes happen thousands of times ever day, not every one deserves an article. I've nominated for prod.

-[[WP:NOTABILITY]] states that a topic is notable if "it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". This topic has been covered by publications such as [[Wired]][http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/01/anonymous-attac.html], [[APC Magazine]][http://www.apcmag.com/7905/anonymous_threatens_to_dismantle_church_of_scientology_via_internet], [[National Post]][http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/posted/archive/2008/01/24/scientology-under-digital-assault-by-web-vigilantes.aspx] and [[Sky News]][http://youtube.com/watch?v=uVaQG67eqwA]. This is clear adherence of [[WP:NOTABILITY]] and [[WP:WEB]], meaning that the article can be kept. Any attempts to delete this article are likely to fail. --[[User:Teggles|Teggles]] ([[User talk:Teggles|talk]]) 04:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
