Bicrement

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Wikipedia is not a dictionary; notability of a question in Stackoverflow.com is not clear; Wikipedia is not a how-to guide—it isn't desirable to have separate articles showing, trivially, how to add 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., to a variable in Java. This isn't the same situation as with increment, a primitive operation in both assembler language and many high-level languages. —Largo Plazo (talk) 01:06, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Previously tagged with PROD, removed by author. I can't say that this is suitably notable. It has a couple of mentions, but doesn't seem to have caught on very well. (You beat me at proposing this AfD) {_C A S U K I T E ^T} 01:07, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as far as I can see, this is a neologism that has circulated on forums and blogs, but is not in common use and not notable. Chris857 (talk) 02:13, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this listed twice? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erpert (talk • contribs)

I used ~~twinkle~~ page curation to nominate it for deletion, but somebody else did it at the same time, that's probably why. {_C A S U K I T E ^T} 12:56, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

weak delete I'm prepared to agree that this could be notable, if someone, somewhere has done serious work on a unary bicrement operation, its possible advantages, and that there is published sourcing to support this. However so far we have bicrement equated (incorrectly) with a commonplace binary addition of 2. That isn't original or notable. Andy Dingley (talk) 14:03, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
