Vanity. Rick K 06:30, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)

Notable because of book with same title and its adoption in management speak. Keep but improve. Salazar 06:48, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC) User has been here for three days. Rick K 07:00, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC) Delete vanity and start over. Gazpacho 07:14, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Keep as rewritten. Gazpacho 10:27, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Delete unless serious cleanup is made. There's potential for a good article on this concept, unfortunately this article is vanity with negative value. --foobazÂ·âœ 07:27, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Keep; thanks for the excellent cleanup job, Stombs!. --foobazÂ·âœ 15:57, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Delete, vanity. --fvw * 07:33, 2005 Jan 11 (UTC) Keep, because the term has been used in management, but remove heavy emphasis on the originator of the word. I have made changes?feel free to revert. Stombs 09:41, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC) Keep, the cleanup seems to have been successful. (Well done, Stombs) Needs a proper cite for Ed Taylor's invention of the word; Raymond Noorda is also credited by some sources. --TenOfAllTrades 15:23, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC) Weak Delete. Seems like a dicdef to me. RoySmith 15:38, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC) Weak Keep. Needs to be expanded to be a useful page. Carrp 18:35, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC) Keep in its current form. --Death phoenix 01:43, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC) Delete, dictionary definition, possible vanity. Megan1967 04:20, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC) Delete Ed's vanity word, corporate publishing is awash with this sort of cruft jargon. Wyss 07:32, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC) Keep. Seems notable. JuntungWu 13:18, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC) Keep, worthy of documenting on Wikipedia. GRider\^talk 23:43, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removed Jeannie Novak reference

Jeannie Novak attributes[1] the word to Ray Noorda.

[edit] The Book Is Unpublished?

"coopetition" actually gets 26,400 google hits...I'm impressed. In other news, the "book" in question is being written, rather than has been written? We don't generally comment on books that have yet to be published, unless they've been frequently mentioned in the news. The fact that the book has not yet been written suggests that the author is the same author of this article, which is a little troubling. Any thoughts? func(talk) 01:36, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree with all those points and I've removed that section. It's not encyclopedic or even particularly relevant, and adds nothing to the article. If the book gets finished and published and becomes a huge hit which gets everyone talking about coopetition, then it will be worth mentioning in the article. GhostGirl 07:32, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History of word

Google News finds this word starting in 1991 ~~(with one apparent nonce usage or OCR error in 1937)~~, with a New York Times article crediting Ray Noorda in 1992. There is no evidence for the Waltrip origin I can see (the earliest mention of Waltrip and coopetition in Google News is from 2005), so I have removed it. --macrakis (talk) 00:53, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
