Original research/opinion piece, no reliable sources for claims made. Blowdart | talk 05:57, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. If there is any material that is referenced and worth keeping it belongs in Workplace stress or Workplace wellness (or, of course, Tai chi). I'm not going as far as saying merge as I wouldn't want to see either of those two articles become dominated by this topic. At most Workplace Tai-chi seems to be something mentioned in a paragraph that covers practical approaches to workplace stress and/or wellness. &mdash;Noah 06:45, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete THere is no encyclopedic content in the article ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:21, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * As a newbie myself, rapid deletion seems to fly in the face of WP:Don%27t_bite_the_newbies ... the author seems well intentioned, as evidenced by his discussion on the article's own discussion page, and does provide some relevant tidbits of factual interest.  It seems to me that if an experienced editor could take the time to coach/mentor that the community of able-bodied editors could grow faster. FrodoFrog (talk) 08:50, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Tai chi. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:16, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Tai chi There is something going on here of value, but not enough to warrant a full article. Ecoleetage (talk) 13:13, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

CorporatetaichiCorporate Tai Chi is a highly used methodology. It has been in use for 10 years. It is somewhat of a neologism, not a protologism, that is familiar to people in the field of tai chi, which is 1,000,000 people. There are articles which review it and define it, videos that show it. I have written and videod several of these. According to Wikipedia guidelines, website proof and discussion by the author of the Wikipedia article is unacceptable.

Corporate Tai Chi has a separate track from tai chi, like wellness and corporate wellness. There are different goals and different techniques. Putting corporate tai chi into corporate wellness or corporate stress would be like putting yoga into corporate stress or like putting Rastafarianism (population 600,000) or Unitarian (population 800,000) into Other and not naming them.

As in any kung fu lesson, the more I make an attempt, the more I see the big picture of Wikipedia. Will try to put the request expert tag on the article. Would like a review from someone in the field to evaluate. Peace. Corporatetaichi (talk) 17:13, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
