[edit] Blitzkrieg Marketing

Blitzkrieg Marketing (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Every other day somebody comes up with application for some new military metaphor in "Strategic Planning" (c.f. all the adaptations of The Art of War). It's ridiculously corny, but more pertinently there's no indication that this particular concept is notable. See the google search here [1] which just turns up some ventures promoting the concept and some offhand mentions. I recommend a swift Panzer strike on this article.

• Exciting Update We're now informed that "The term "Blitzkrieg Marketing" is copyrighted by G.Kourvaras (2007)." Leaving aside the fact that a two word term cannot be copyrighted, it's hard not to notice the similarity of the username of the article's originator to the name of our good friend Mr. Kourvaras.

KFC claims that the two words "family feast" are a trademark so unfortunately there is a precedent :-( Slightly Selassie 08:05, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Regardless of what KFC may claim with respect to trademark, that has nothing to do with copyright whatsoever. Deranged bulbasaur 08:11, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete (unless the author comes up with something more substantial over the next few days). "The term "Blitzkrieg Marketing" is copyrighted by G.Kourvaras (2007)" This suggests the article is little more than spam. Slightly Selassie 08:05, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. By itself "blitzkrieg marketing" comes up with just over 300 ghits, which isn't very much. Link it with "Kourvaras", and that total becomes, er... zero. I don't think the term is in common use and I doubt that it has an agreed meaning among those that do use it. So, non-notable and a neologism. BTLizard 12:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete per deranged observations... nice workBalloonman 04:02, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia is not for things our consultant made up one day. --Dynaflow babble 00:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
