Article was AfDed incorrectly and without explanation by a new user. Taking a look, it's pretty clear that this is WP:OR. The second sentence of the lead is "'Semantics-pragmatics-syntax trinity' is probably not an official term." Certainly fails WP:GNG and could probably be deleted per WP:NEO, WP:NOT, WP:MADEUP, or a host of others. I see it was PRODded with no explanation a while back, and thus declined, so that may preclude CSD. Given that, and the aforementioned attempted AfD, this seemed like the more appropriate venue. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:21, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, one of those cases where if WP:MADEUP was a speedy tag, it would be long gone. The only mention I can find of this subject online is in some obscure textbook-looking-thing, and no hits on scholar. Deadbeef 21:26, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• @Deadbeef: there is a (poosible) speedy tag: WP:A11. Stickee (talk) 00:14, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Considered, but the article has to explicitly state that the author or someone they knew created the content according to the tag. Deadbeef 00:56, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Delete this article per the above nomination and the above opinion from Deadbeef. --DoctorBob3 (talk) 21:45, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete No coverage of this term anywhere. Possible WP:A11. Stickee (talk) 00:14, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
