Neologism with few (around 230) Google hits, few of which are unique. Furthermore this is a well-known concept and is surely covered better elsewhere. Punkmorten 17:34, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unverifiable, non-notable, unstable neologism, i.e. protologism. Might possibly be worth a mention in the project namespace if expanded and examples of usage were given. Stifle 17:50, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Many of the other informal fallacies listed at the Fallacy article are in the nature of "variations on a theme". Still, they come to recognized under catchy and distinctive names precisely because of their particular prevalence in peculiar provinces of common culture. TWISI (the way I see it), 230 hits on Google is sufficient evidence of an emergent phenomenon, and I think that I can safely predict that there will soon emerge a multitude more. You didn't hear it here first — You hear it here most. The self-referential character of the fallacy — of which more I'm forbad here to write — imparts to it a very striking family resemblance to many of the most notable and notorious among its kin, I dare say elevating it to the status of a veritable prototype, nay, more, a paragon of oxymoronic paradoxy.

Addendum. The "exact phrase" search engine at WP is not up to the task, but I'm looking for collaborators to help me write a bot, strawperson name "Notanexpertbot", to search for all the instances of the phrase "I am not an expert but" that were followed by administrative actions by the the soi-disant non-expert. I think that this would supply more data for the prominence of the theme.
Delete per Stifle. --Thunk 18:12, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The principle of Corgeelblatt indicates clearly that this article should be deleted. If you have never heard of that principle that does not make it irrelevant. DJ Clayworth 18:34, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per Stifle. -Rebelguys2 18:44, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, neologisms don't belong, regardless of their utility or accuracy or potential for emergence. Try again when it becomes just a "logism". Powers 19:58, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as above. --Agamemnon2 13:51, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Change vote to delete. I have userfried the content and consider myself sufficiently vented. Jon Awbrey 19:10, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
