"Geocast" is not a thing. It's a proposed idea, which has not been (and arguably could not be) implemented. The article, and the links to it from other pages, all appear to have been created by one person, and only reference a single very academic paper, which proposes it as a hypothetical neat idea. But it's a neat idea which was never fleshed out enough to be realizable. So I guess I'd place this at the intersection set of " not notable," " not verifiable," " patent nonsense," " neologism" and " original research." But it's definitely not a thing and the article (and all the links to it that were scattered around in other articles) are very misleading and use a lot of obfuscatory jargon, implying that it is a thing. This is very misleading, would lead the average reader to the misconclusion that there's a thing called "geocast" which exists in the world, and thus should not appear in an encyclopedia.
