The result was delete, but I'll make a redirect to Subtitle (captioning) in case someone comes across the term. No prejudice against re-creation if sources can be found. Aɴɢʀ (talk) 09:49, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neologism possibly created as a disguised promotional article and recently maintained by 50.14.3.215 (talk · contribs) whose edits may be PR and is maintaining other company or BLP articles - a number related to Michael Mic Neumann. Dougweller (talk) 10:01, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep One or two issues on the last line of the article do not mean that the article is a promotional article and should be deleted to me the artical looks like a short well sourced article that needs a little work not somthing that needs to be deleted.--Jeffrd10 (talk) 13:08, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The word appears valid but not very commonly used, at least not in Google Books. However, the book Fight Choreography: The Art of Non-Verbal Dialogue devotes a half-page to explaining what "dubtitle" means. I don't think deletion is an option here, but I would not be unopposed to merging to subtitle (captioning) if there is not much more coverage about the word itself.

Comment. I've removed the references to "Dubtitled" as a genre and "Dubtitled Entertainment" as a company, as these would need to be at their respective article titles. Inclusion here seems to be a backdoor attempt to circumvent notability criteria. So what's left seems to be a dubious WP:DICDEF. --Rob Sinden (talk) 16:21, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And that convinces me that when Squeezdot (talk · contribs) and Squeezedot (talk · contribs) were blocked 50.14.3.215 took over the Neumann PR work and is likely the same person. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 19:16, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

delete I see exactly one book on anime using/defining the term. If it catches on more it could be recreated. Mangoe (talk) 16:38, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
