- That article has now been speedily deleted as a copyright infringement. But it suffered other severe problems: Its subject probably was not notable in the first place. By the general notability guideline, notability requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." In contrast, the Manzo article had lots of Manzo-based sources and two independet ones which were unlikely to constitute that "significant coverage" - someone citing an academic's work does not actually cover the academic.

There is no formal significant coverage for this article/topic because it is very new. The term has only been around for about a year, however, the term gets 60,500+ monthly global searches according to Google. There is nowhere available online where "micro job" has a formal definition, so I wanted to give it one via Wikipedia. Could you guide me going about doing this according to your rules? I'd really appreciate it.
Are there enough reliable sources in this article to consider it "notable."

I have some images I can use, but I'm not sure on where or even how to apply them to the posting/article. My goal is to give a formal definition to a term that is being more commonly used in a certain genre of the internet world. There are not, if any, many sources for citation for this term, as it started being used in place of another word which was a sort of slang term, and already has other meanings. Nonetheless, it is very clear on what it is and what it means to certain crowds. I am willing to be as thorough as possible with this, though I may need a bit of guidance in doing so. So, I hope the feedback I get is something critically practical. Thank you.
