Phonetographer

Non-notable term with no sources provided. I could not find any reliable references to add. Also, this reads as a dictionary definition, which is not encouraged. Tinton5 (talk) 04:12, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

delete GBooks shows one passing ref in Pop Photography eight years back, and nothing else. I guess it didn't catch on. Mangoe (talk) 12:01, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. But its a valid term used daily! Yes? By somebody somewhere, maybe. By significant numbers of people, no way. The (claimed) semantics kill the word's chances. After all, it allegedly means somebody who uses a cameraphone and never uses a camera. Really? I can't think of a term for a person who uses a cellphone and never uses a land line, for somebody who drinks wine and never drinks beer, for somebody who eats meat and doesn't eat fish, etc. But that's by the way. Only example has been adduced of this phenomenon and the term is almost unknown. -- Hoary (talk) 13:30, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've never heard the term. I've always thought iPhoneographer a ridiculous concept (a camera is a camera, why self define by the sub-genre of camera type you use), and iPhoneographer has currency, unlike Phoneographer which I have never seen or heard of. -Lopifalko (talk)
