Bootstrap Venturing

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable commercial terminology. Der Google test yields 28 hits, the vast majority of which are Wikipedia mirors. Bootstrap Venturing has its own wiki, but for all its discussion of history and a vast global network, there aren't any references to support it. The wiki is written for the most part from the first-person, which makes me wonder if it's a network at all, or just one man who really wants it to be one. From the history section of the bootstrap wiki. "I started the group to save myself some time - I was meeting with my fellow-entrepreneurs for coffee and lunch and thought it would be easier if we all just met up together!" Wikipedia is not for things made up in school at work one day? Aside from the wiki, the term is showing up only in RSS feed lists and Wikipedia mirrors. Consequentially 19:15, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, no reliable sources for the buzzword, and the concept is old hat. I don't see anything other than user created content.  The only external link is an ultra-low content one that seems to be a COI (per above).  Kuru  talk  19:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NEO as a protologism. Askari Mark (Talk) 00:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NEO - lack of "reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term—not books and papers that use the term" Corpx 03:47, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete for reasons above. -WarthogDemon 23:22, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
