Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Factlet
The term has passed the neologism stage and is being used in mainstream media such as the ''Mother Jones'' which has a column called http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2010/04/factlet-day Factlet of the Day. In addition, there are |tertiary sources such as the http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=factlet Urban Dictionary and the http://www.thefreedictionary.com/factlet Free Dictionary. The term appears increasingly in mainstream publications such as the http://www.mercurynews.com/tv/ci_25790988/amazing-race-all-star-winners-and-winner-is San Jose Mercury News. It meets the |general notability guideline test of being the subject of substantive articles; for example, the ''Atlantic magazine'' wrote an entire article on it called http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/03/down-with-factoid-up-with-factlet/255235/ Down With Factoid! Up With Factlet!. New York Times language columnist William Safire wrote about it. Since there is ongoing discussion in mainstream media about how the term ''factlet'' and ''factoid'' should be used, the subject is not merely a dictionary definition but an encyclopedic topic and should be kept in Wikipedia
