I brought this up in the Discord and in User talk:DTLHS#Hurry-furry merger but it didn't get too far. @theknightwho seemed to agree with me though! I was able to find it in a few spots[1][2] and I've both seen it used and actually used it in conversations (see the talk page message for more). So yeah, I think the deletion was clearly unfair. There's no reason to think it was coined by Wikipedia or whatever. MedK1 (talk) 20:06, 30 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Undelete - the reasons given for DTLHS's out-of-process deletion were "I bet it came from some dumb Wikipedia list" and "sounds like bullshit". Theknightwho (talk) 09:47, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Recreate and send to RFV? I see plenty on the Web, not much in GBooks (though their search sucks these days). Equinox 09:50, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
The deleting administrator seemed to be in a bad mood on the day they were questioned about it and is no longer active, so I dont expect them to share an opinion here, but I agree with those above there's no reason this page should be omitted when cot-caught merger and similar pages are listed.

I've undeleted it. RFV it if needed, but as long as it's attested there doesn't seem to be any RFD-reason to exclude it. - -sche (discuss) 20:14, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
This is the name of a specific entity, just like the names Hjalmar Ekdal topology, Kurgan hypothesis, Lichnerowicz cohomology, twistor theory, and so on. When should we consider such names to have become lexicalized? We are lacking a criterion.  --Lambiam 20:40, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
