Since the phenomenon didn't have a well known name, I've been telling
people about it for quite some time now, and it has recently enjoyed a huge
surge in popularity, *due to its existence on Wikipedia*.
At least we killed "analogue disc record" before it entered English.
The article should reinstated, a section concerning
the unique nature of
its notability should be added.
This argument doesn't seem to convince (though that does resemble
reasonable popularity). The fourth AFD notes the problem in this case:
really crappy sources. The sort of thing that would lead me to !vote
"delete without prejudice".
I recall finding a list somewhere of article titles that got lots of
hits but didn't have articles, but don't recall where. I may be
misremembering of course.
