The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
Logical but taking a quick look at google books, news and scholar I did not find this usage. Kappa 00:50, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- Hi. The term greenchip is being used by a journalist for The Australian see: http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,22623891-23850,00.html

- O.K., but here at Wiktionary, unless a word is in clearly widespread use (which this is not), we need durably archived quotations — books, print newspapers, journal articles, etc. —RuakhTALK 02:05, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
The term has recently been added to the Macquarie Dictionary in Australia and reads as follows: greenchip, adjective of or relating to companies, investments, etc., which are environmentally sound as well as financially solid. [green def. 5 + blue chip] The Dictionary is a subscriber only service and can be accessed at: www.macquariedictionary.com.au
- Great name for the newsletter, but not yet in widespread use nor cited in durable media. Other neo-logism senses seem to have more currency. It may eventually become widespread through the blogosphere, but not yet. (BTW, I tried "green chip" as well as "greenchip". DCDuring 23:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
