Frankly, if that is good enough, I would suggest that Midification might now be deleted, rather than be kept as a redirection page. Anybody searching for midification will be offered Musical_Instrument_Digital_Interface

I am contemplating midification of (midifying?) an organ designed and built around 1970 (Baldwin 630T), and have started to do the e-research for such a substantial project. It was immediately clear that midification was the term to use, so I decided to add that term to Wikipedia, since there are already many references to it on The Internet.
I am sure, however, that Wikipedia is not the place for detailed HOW TO discussions, though it will be good for those of you who know of such sites to add references to this page.
Criticism of the page is very welcome: I am not a total novice at Wikipedia work, but no guru!
Justification for inclusion in Wikipedia edit
Early in 2009, Google offered nearly 14,000 search hits for the word, asking first, as did Wikipedia "Did you mean modification?"!
Earlier, I wondered if a disambiguation page might be needed, but early scanning of other Google results suggest they are mostly spelling mistakes: 'i' is next to 'o' on qwerty keyboards!
Recommended for deletion! edit

"[1] and [2] doesn't reveal much notability for this WP:NEOLOGISM with respect to the meaning given" where the references 1 and 2 are to Google searches for midifcation with and without the word MIDI.
As those yield over 400,000 or 13,000 hits respectively, I'm puzzled as to what Wisdom89 considers sufficient notability.
Let the discussion continue.
