 *  Delete , vehemently. To use so many words with apparent obliviousness to the fact that they haven't said or meant anything yet makes this patter patent nonsense: It is all about the information. Many professionals do not realize that they are information strategist in various forms and degrees. The information strategist is an emergent field in the information age. The discipline is so new that several other disciplines are attempting to lay claim. In the end, the information strategist will most likely break out as an independent field.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:41, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * comment - It closely resembles MBA-speak, that hideously dishonest bastard hybrid of sociological blather, psychobabble, and marketeers' hypocritical lying cant. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  18:31, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep This is evidently a notable topic as may be seen from sources such as Competing with knowledge: the information professional in the knowledge management age which has a section about this role. There are numerous other sources of this sort and so our role as editors or information managers is to dispassionately sort and summarise this, not to censor or spin to suit our personal opinions.

 * Keep Click on the Google book search at the top of the AFD. This is a verifiable thing, and quite notable.   D r e a m Focus  09:38, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. The nonsense that was here before has been removed and replaced with a reasonably informative stub by Colonel Warden; well done.  The topic itself may support an article. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 00:11, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
