neumorphism

By @Amin. I remember talking to him some time ago about not creating protologisms, but this looks to me like another one. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 19:07, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Looks like a neologism rather than a protologism, or at least not invented for Wiktionary. It is in use but without durable quotations older than a year. It seems to be the next way Apple is going to elevate style over substance in its user interfaces. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 19:30, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Our definition finishes in the middle of a sentence. Was it copied from somewhere? SemperBlotto (talk) 19:36, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

I added a quotation from this week. I don't consider it durable, but the word is new. It might deserve {{hot word}} and some non-durable quotations for now. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 23:27, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

The word was coined in December of last year as far as I can tell. Either it gets {{hot word}} or it dies. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 18:02, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

This RFV should be closed now. Either keep as a hot word or delete as lacking durable citations. As a recent coinage it can't be properly cited fox another six months or so. I have no strong feelings about keep vs. delete. @Metaknowledge: As the nominator are you satisfied? Vox Sciurorum (talk) 16:31, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

@Vox Sciurorum: No, I'm not. The entry has two cites, neither of which seem to be durably archived. A hot word is supoosed to fulfil all criteria except spanning more than a year. In any case, I'll let it be for its allotted month. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 17:56, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

For the record, the definition given was "a user interface style that is characterized by flat design, combined with soft shadows and highlights" and the ety given was "new +‎ skeuomorphism", supposedly coined in two posts from December 2019, one of which spelled it neuomorphism. Nothing on Google Books, and the only two hits in academic journals that I saw, in articles titled "Two-stage neomorphism of Jurassic aragonitic bivalves" and "Cretaceous and Tertiary Alpine subductional history in northern Iraq", are scannos or typos for "neomorphism". According to "Econsultancy", "Jack Koluskus writing for Input Mag defines Apple's new design as 'neuomorphism'."; someone would have to see if that was the print edition. Miscellaneous "news"-ish sites use "neumorphism", but it's not clear any have print editions. - -sche (discuss) 06:25, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

This seems to have failed RfV and, therefore, not merit hot-word status. Do terms like this warrant inclusion on some kind of Wiktionary or Appendix page (or marking by a template on the talk page where this discussion is archived) which would invite citation effort? Or should we leave that to User pages? DCDuring (talk) 18:59, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

I moved the citations to Citations:neumorphism. In addition to Appendix:List of protologisms we could have a List of new words that have a fair chance of survival. I would move some from Wiktionary:Requested entries (English). There are more words like neumorphism that clearly do exist, but are neither in widespread use nor durably archived. As for the disposition of neumorphism, I think {{no entry}} is preferably to deletion. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 19:15, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

I have added some cites on permanently archived media. This is cited (as a hotword). Kiwima (talk) 22:00, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
