Wikipedia is not a dictionary, phrasebook, or a slang, jargon or usage guide. This could perhaps find a home outside of mainspace somewhere. Pontificalibus 06:57, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

• Delete. Neologism. Szzuk (talk) 10:32, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
• Keep the word might be newish, but mass translation marathonlike events aren't. This seems expandable and notable. 92.2.70.144 (talk) 13:02, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

• Delete. Neologism. Searching Blankathon (you fill in the blank) has numerous results, for all sorts of prefixes (wine-, gym-, wiki-, read- [1.2 million results!], date-, etc.) including even x-rated ones with more results than 'translatathon'. With the exception of a few (tele-, walk-, talk-) these are neologisms. Mathglot (talk)
