Talk:Acqui-hire

.

This article is about Acqui-hire the trend and not about Acqui-hire the neologism. For instance Acqhire, Acquhire and Manquisition all redirect to Acqui-hire therefore the article is about the trend and not about the neologism. And if the article was about the neologism then we would have had separate articles for each of the terms Acqhire, Acquhire and Manquisition.

And it turns out that the trend called Acqui-hire is quite notable, because it has been mentioned prominently by major sources such as the New York Times, Huffington Post, GigaOM and TechCrunch.

This link describes the term and its history in quite detail: http://www.visualthesaurus.com/cm/wordroutes/2435/

That link is one among the External Links to the Article to the article and was probably not noticed by the person who nominated this article for deletion.

The article should not be deleted because it describes the trend called by the name Acqui-hire (or by other names such as Acqhire, Acquhire or Manquisition) and not the neologism called Acqui-hire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.207.206.170 (talk) 10:09, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
