The result was delete. Consensus reflects a neologism that fails to satisy the general notability guideline through significant coverage in reliable independent sources. Philg88 ^♦talk 06:45, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nokia OS[edit]

Article name is a neologism; it's content is inventive/imaginary. Performed both a Google and a Bing search; the results are extremely disappointing. I can't find a reliable source to even confirm its existence. Google lists the Wikipedia article first; Bing does not even do that. Codename Lisa (talk) 16:06, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Looks like it should probably redirect to Series 40, as the few hits I get on Nokia OS related to that or Symbian, which is it's own distinct thing. Artw (talk) 06:04, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure. It can be a generic term referring to Series 40, Symbian or virtually any OS that once ran on a Nokia phone. It is analogous to redirecting "Microsoft OS" to "Windows" because Microsoft has developed "MS-DOS" too. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 09:21, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom - I can find nothing to say this even exists, Only results I'm getting is generally Symbian OS .... –Davey2010 • (talk) 13:52, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The subject fails notability. Yes, there must be an operating system inside Nokia smartphones, so it's reasonable to expect to references to the Nokia OS. But that's like a reference to the Camaro gas cap. The fact a term gets used does not make it notable. It takes multiple reliable independent secondary sources talking about the subject. They have to be doing more than simply asking what is it or just giving the answer (Symbian or Windows Phone). Msnicki (talk) 17:19, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
