Deletion discussion[edit]
The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
- The original heading: "Deletion appeal :)".
The word Maquilatropolis refers to a specific place: The Maquiladora community in Mexico that borders the US by Tijuana and Tecate. (There are other factories across the world, but this is a specific one and community.) The Maquilatropolis is a collection of industrial factories and corporations, workers, families, homes, organizations, economic transportation, and more. This entry was deleted because it was perceived to be "no more then a website," but there is barely a website, and there is no other name to identify this particular geographic region and what takes place within it. As I have been hearing this more in the industry, seen it in documents, and I would like to add it. I would like to request that you see it from that perspective, and reconsider your perspective of legitimacy, for as new communities and developments form in the world, the words that identify those which were not always there must somehow as well. Thank you! — This unsigned comment was added by Ke13that (talk • contribs).
- We require that English words have at least 3 durable citations spanning at least a year. Durable citation means, in a nutshell, published material (books, magazines, even music lyrics) or Usenet posts. The quickest way for us to find them is by searching the word in Google Books and Google Groups; I just did that and there wasn’t one book or Usenet posting using this word.
- If you want to add maquilatropolis to the Wiktionary, we ask that you find three uses of this word that conform to our criteria for inclusion; I can even undelete the entry if you do that, so you won’t need to rewrite it. — Ungoliant (Falai) 22:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
I appreciate your help. I have included three references to verify the term, including a trademark registration, press release reference, and the results of a TESS search for the Maquilatropolis Trade Association. You will also find reference within Wikipedia. Please advise if this is sufficient, and how to proceed with posting Maquilatropolis to Wiktionary. Thank yoU!

- RFV failed: no quotations provided. Maquilatropolis and Citations:Maquilatropolis were never created. The nominator seems to have created maquilatropolis with lowercase "m", which was deleted on 5 June 2013; Citations:maquilatropolis is empty. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:10, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
