This article seems more appropriate as a dictionary entry per WP:NOTDICT. There doesn't appear to be much coverage of the term in a way that would support an encyclopedia article, such as for its history of usage.

The second paragraph of WP:NEO applies to this article: while there's plenty of evidence of use of the term, there's little coverage about the term itself. As an example, the reference for a statement in the article about the term predating the World Wide Web is misattributed, firstly, and links to an unrelated paper from 1958 that uses the term once. Said statement is WP:OR. Uhai (talk) 15:16, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
