No, it isn't. The only web hits in English are a student story from the 1980s and a Linux mailing list post, neither using the word in this sense, one expired URL, and a Wikipedia mirror. 20 Usenet hits show it might be a bit of an in-joke on rec.music.makers.percussion; no serious hits even from alt.suicide.holiday, and no inbound links.

- Delete. Geez. less than 30 hits--non-notable neologism. Orphan status indicates not in common use. Niteowlneils 08:03, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, although I remember hearing about the phenomenon (apparently it is a problem at some Japanese beauty spots) and it probably deserves a mention somewhere (suicide perhaps? There is already a link from Internet). This neologism wouldn't be any use as a redirect based on the above. Thryduulf 10:35, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as neologism. If it ever does become a word, I doubt it'll have this definition. It would seem to be the most logical term for the destruction of sentient neural networks. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:42, May 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Clearly a neologism. (Incidentally, Miriam-Webster starts publishing their 2005 list the day after tomorrow.) DeweyQ 19:10, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Neologism. But if internet suicide pacts get out of hand (such as it being a major concern on news and media) and they coin that word, then it would probably be legitimate here. Nestea 22:44, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
