Non-notable neologism, contested PROD. Reliable sources used do not mention the term "Iphoneography" Ryan Vesey Review me! 22:42, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete No indication of wp:notability. The word is not even mentioned in the listed "references" (despite one of them even being a commercial I-Phone site) except for a blog on a person's website which is given as a "reference". North8000 (talk) 23:05, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Although I may not be a fan of this as a concept, that doesn't mean it hasn't reached notability status. It does appear that there is enough evidence to support the argument that this subject meets WP's notability guidelines.

- Delete. Minus the trivial lists of editing techniques (which apply to any photography application) and software, there's not much to say here that can't be said briefly in the main article, namely, that the iPhone is also a popular digital camera. That the inane term "Iphoneography" has some use is not really relevant because we are not writing a dictionary. As soon as we have some actual, substantial content that can be spun off into a WP:SS subarticle about iPhone photography, I'm all for creating one. Sandstein 05:24, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
