I found tons of sources using the term, but very few explaining what it actually is. Textbook WP:DICDEF; despite existing since 2009 and having a myriad of edits, this article has seen fewer than a dozen edits, further suggesting that it is incapable of expansion. Prod declined with prompt to improve it, but legitimate sourcing proved elusive. It's clearly just a WP:DICDEF and nothing more.

Keep, the article now contains the sourcing that the nominator found to be so elusive. SailingInABathTub (talk) 20:38, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep sources are clear on notability; article is a stub but could be expanded. --Jayron 32 12:44, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jayron32: Which is why it's been two sentences long since 2009, right? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:59, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a concern. Per WP:DEADLINE, not every article needs to be in a complete state. Lots of obscure topics can be expanded, but haven't yet. Wikipedia has existed for a finite amount of time. When we reach an infinite amount of time, I'll expect it to be complete. --Jayron 32 17:04, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's a difference between WP:DEADLINE and just magically expecting the article to build itself, and this seems dangerously close to the latter. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 21:03, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, the article is not magically going to build itself, but "it's going to take some time for someone to expand this" is not a reason for deletion. We delete articles largely because Wikipedia shouldn't have an article about the subject, or because it is a copyvio, or something like that. "It could be expanded, but hasn't yet been" is not a deletion rationale. --Jayron 32 11:46, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as mentioned, being a stub is not a reason for deletion. matt91486 (talk) 23:41, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
