:{{la|Acmetal}} ([{{fullurl:Acmetal|wpReason={{urlencode: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Acmetal}}&action=delete}} delete]) – (View AfD)(View log)

PROD contested by IP with no reason given (and somehow stupidly re-prodded again one month later. I need a vacation or something). My reasoning stands: Per WP:NOT#NEWS, appears to be a one-time event, no significant coverage in reliable sources indicating otherwise, [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=acmetal&num=100&scoring=a&hl=en&ned=us&sa=N&sugg=d&as_ldate=2009/04&as_hdate=2009/04&lnav=hist3 Google News] doesn't indicate any further and recent usage for this neologism.

  • Keep The subject of this article is not an event. There are a good few reliable articles covering this [http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/9296][http://schott.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/03/18/acmetal/][http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25173126-12377,00.html] --neon white talk 20:55, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment The coining of the term and its usage is, however, a one-time event. MLauba (talk) 07:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
  • This is a encyclopaedia article about a subject, in this case a proposed new currency, not about a "term and its usage". The subject is, as Neon white stated, not an event. Uncle G (talk) 14:24, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete — Non-notable. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 00:24, 16 June 2009 (UTC))
  • Neon white's source in The Australian cited above, in conjunction with things such as [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financetopics/g20-summit/5055795/Global-currency-could-save-world-economy.html this Daily Telegraph source], seem to indicate otherwise.
