Stragility

 * Delete - not only does it fail that neologisms rule, but it's also a promotional article full of links to purchase associated products disguised as "references". Few if any reputable sources w/ significant coverage, so it is probably not notable as well. BlAcKhAt9(9 (talk) 20:00, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Created by User:LindseyAusterWeiss, the article tells us that "Ellen Auster created the word, blending strategic and agility. She owns the patent in the United States and Canada." Egregious COI and spam. There are what appear to be bonafide RS such as this, however. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:15, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Having forced myself to slog through many of these refs and the "news" results above, I agree that this word -- this patented concept/process/mantra -- does not yet meet WP:GNG. The Globe and Mail article from "Harvey Schachter, Management columnist" is a bona fide RS, and I count several reviews. The rest of the link farm is given over to primary refs and minor mentions. User:LindseyAusterWeiss is clearly WP:NOTHERE to build an encyclopedia, she's here to sell her book. The publishers, Rotman School of Management/University of Toronto Press, are clearly distinguished bodies. However I simply cannot bring myself to abet such flagrant self-promotion and I still say it remains to be seen whether in the sea of management books we have something here that truly has lasting notability. At the very least, WP:TOOSOON. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:02, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

 * BTW, if kept, it would certainly need to be renamed to the book title Stragility: Excelling at Strategic Changes, because the word stragility, godawful as it is, is most certainly is a non-notable neologism, per the nominator. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:34, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
