Polymash

Polymash is a term created by artist Chris Dooks in 2003 to describe his chaotic multi-disciplinary practice. As art has the object of enriching itself by whatsoever means possible, polymash may or may not describe any number of cross-genre explorations and happenings.

Whether polymash is to be adopted by Wikipedia or not remains to be seen, but it was damned as a 'non-notable neologism', which demonstrates the pettiness inherent in the Wikipedia-System, as follows:

This is new user MountOilphant, I am new to wikipedia but keen to see polymash remain, or come back with the correct protocol in place. Please advise how to do this, I've found wikipedia very difficult to use so far.

I'm afraid I cannot hold out any hope for this article, it violates too many of Wikipedia's policies. The reasons are well summarised in Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. I will reply in more detail on your talk page, but not for a day or two. JohnCD (talk) 21:24, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

• Delete I quite like the expression, but it's not for Wikipedia. If it spreads and gets used, then Wiktionary would be the place for it. Peridon (talk) 21:51, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

• Comment: I see no need for a redirect, so I am not recommending a merger, but most of the content here seems to belong at Chris Dooks. Cnilep (talk) 18:10, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
• Delete - Very obscure non-notable neologism. I agree with the above reason, that it might be worth a short mention at the Chris Dooks article, if it's not already there, Lord Spongefrog, (I am the Czar of all Russias!) 17:11, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
