Unbooked

I can't find any evidence that this is a known business model. (Or that Expedia's business model is described anywhere as "unbooked".) Indeed, the article's author describes it in an edit summary as an "emergent business model", but I don't think Wikipedia is the place for it to emerge. Contested prod. ... discospinster _talk 03:36, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

_____________

I have created a talk page to address this, opening with:

"There is a view that this entry is to be deleted. I think that there is wide usage of this term in publishing, accounting practice and a variety of business models. While I am but one author, I would like to see this entry remain providing the opportunity for other authors to continue to expand this entry with greater context, relevance and utility to the community."

Comment: The new information that has been put in the article about the Unbook Movement has to with "book" as a printed medium, but the rest of the article has to do with "booking" as in "making reservations". It's not clear what the article is really referring to. ... discospinster _talk 15:07, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Not sure if WP:DICTIONARY, WP:SPAM, or WP:NEO fits better. Jminthorne (talk) 08:06, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete as incoherent. Apparently about two different subjects, neither of them with any sources or likely notability. DGG ( talk ) 01:26, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, agree with DGG. Also non-notable neologisms, dictionary definitions, and original research musing. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:51, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
