I can't find evidence that this word is anything more than a protologism, see Wikipedia:Avoid neologisms. Wikipedia is not a dumping ground for every plausible word that sounds interesting (and usually has to do with sex). There needs to be evidence of meaningful use, which doesn't seem to be the case here [1], [2]. W.marsh 16:40, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Thus proclaims some blog. See WP:V that's not a good source. --W.marsh 20:57, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete the article provides no verification of its claims, a Google turns up only ~300 odd hits (many of which enclose the phrase within quote marks or otherwise acknowledge it as a neologism). In the absence of reliable sources, delete as unverifiable, a probable neologism. Sliggy 22:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd say redirect to Cliterature, which is a widely used, if new, word. But we don't seem to have that. Perhaps rename and expand? Grutness...wha? 01:10, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Feel free to do the expansion. --W.marsh 01:16, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- having had a second look at the article, I see I misread it thoroughly the first time (ironically). It's such a completely different concept to cliterature that it probably wouldn't be a reasonable redirect to it at all. in which case, I'm changing my vote to a weak delete.
