Cottage corporation
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable neologism. Every use of it that doesn't refer to an actual company in Minneapolis which is called this is in quotes attributed to Tom Joseph, who is the guy who just made it up one day. Nothing has changed since the first deletion discussion in 2007, which ended in a deletion. &mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 22:47, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - just not seeing it. Does not appear to have gained any acceptance since the last AFD, and I can't find any reliable sources since 1995.  Nothing more than a spin on virtual office, which is widely used; there must be thousands of outsourcing companies using the same operating model, and none of them use this term.

 * Delete - Agree that the term essentially describes a virtual office, perhaps taken to an extreme. I cannot find any widespread use of the term beyond Bookminders. -- Whpq (talk) 19:02, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
