Suggested merging with Mobile phone overuse seconded. Air ♠ Combat What'sup, dog? 18:38, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
Citation from the text:
...is a pedestrian who walks slowly and without attention to their surroundings...
Where should we put drivers ? -- PetarM ( talk) 09:31, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
In 2014, China had over five hundred million smartphone users and more than half of them have a phone addiction.
This, particularly the "more than half of them have a phone addiction" part, doesn't seem to be mentioned in the two articles referenced further. Defanor ( talk) 22:10, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
Now the deletion discussion has been closed, I suggest to recognise that this term is predominantly used in other languages than English, and that it is pejorative according to the writer of the book
Netymology (who is currently cited in his BBC article) that we retitle the page.
Smartphones and pedestrians
Smartphones and traffic
Smartphone overuse and traffic
Overuse of smartphones by pedestrians
Any other suggestions welcome. This is not the zombie apocalypse. Sure it was word of the year in Germany. But they can have that on their language wikipedia. I do not think we need to have it here.

The result of the move request was: moved ( non-admin closure) ❯❯❯ Raydann (Talk) 14:03, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
Smartphone zombie → Smartphones and pedestrian safety – Formal move discussion per the section above. The pejorative term "smartphone zombie" has declined in the past decade, and the article talks neutrally about street design. Similar articles are titled Mobile phones and driving safety and Texting while driving rather than using a slang term. Belbury ( talk) 13:36, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
