Digital Entrepreneurship

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Non-notable neologism. Even the references don't necessarily specifically use the term. Was a contested PROD. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 12:44, 28 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Digital Entrepreneurship is an active area for research around the world. I have added recent references (publications) in this area, however there are more that are in development at a number of universities. Vicperotti (talk) 16:02, 28 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - non-notable neologism/buzzword for what its advocates view as the "up and coming next big thing" in business. It may become famous; it may go into the dustbin of history with eEntrepreneurship and iEntrepreneurship and any other lexicological τέρᾰτος may be spawned. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:47, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete weird and unclear article that kind of reads like a mixture of a Make big bucks online! brochure and the first page of a For Dummies book on modern technology. As a result we get the obvious "The digital world has opened up the possibility to have virtual teams where no physical meetings are required." as well as head-scratchers like "Support - Information or assistance may be provided to support use of products or services that are free, provided by other vendors, or both".  Overall, the message is that people can use the internet for business, which isn't exactly shocking to folks who've been alive in any of the past 15 years.  Much, much better covered in our Electronic commerce and Electronic business articles. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:10, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Certainly, the article could be improved. On the issue of a non-notable neologism, I would suggest that Digital Entrepreneurship is in fact a very active area. It has become the standard term for the new forms of entrepreneurship and new groups of entrepreneurs that have begun to work in this space. Google search for EXACTLY "Digital Entrepreneurship" yields over 55,000 results including: An initial definition from a 2002 Harvard paper, a grant-funded academic center (2007), several published articles, a new Master's degree, and many more relevant items. These items are all recent, indicating that Digital Entrepreneurship has and will continue to emerge. Vicperotti (talk) 19:55, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Vaporing of a sort that's so confused that nobody can reasonably be expected to make sense of it: Hot trends in content is the idea of social networking, bringing with similar interests or commonalities together. Also, is the idea of globalization, linking with different people all over the world, a key theme of Web 2.0. Web Services such as SOAP and RSS feeds and user interface technologies such as AJAX are whats hot in web development because they support the notion of Web 2.0: that information should be as readily available as possible and everyone everywhere should have access to the information. These web services offer interconnectivity between different sites and databases, linking information from many locations. Wow! The Internet! It's all so interconnected it's cosmic! And here's a vague plan to Make Money Fast from all this cosmic interconnection. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 20:29, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
