Corporate immune response
Sounds like original research. 400 google hits, many of the top 20 are from WP or WP ripoff sites. Maybe merge as a subarticle of corporate culture? jdb &#x274b; (talk) 22:11, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, smells like a vanity neologism to me, I'm sure there's a more peer-reviewed and appropriate term for this anyway. Wyss 00:36, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Interesting. This article has been around and largely unnoticed since 2002.  The phrase generates only 68 unique Google hits and a high proportion of those are Wikipedia mirrors (some of this article and more of the two articles which link to it).  The phrase is not in use among any of the communities that tend to specialize in corporate change management such as Harvard Business Review, Workforce Week, etc.  The more general term would be "resistance to change" which does not have the same connotation of inevitability or purpose.  As much as I hate to lose a business-related article, I have to be consistent and consider this a neologism.  With great reluctance, delete.  Rossami (talk) 23:07, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * No references = neologism. Delete - David Gerard 00:34, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Checked first 20 hits, and at this point in time there's several cases of the word appearing "in the wild", including in the top 10 hits: a newsletter, a .ppt for some kind of lecture(?), and the gnome mailing list. Kim Bruning 00:13, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
