Rationale For Not Deleting These Articles
My name is Mike Cline, I indeed work for a company that teaches and practices the concepts the four articles up for deletion embody. I created the articles in good faith well before the COI was raised. Once the COI was raised I acknowledged it and ceased any work on the articles—therefore they are indeed incomplete and at this point, poorly referenced. The first deletion comment states—“of the company that made this stuff up.” That is not only untrue, but shows a complete lack of understanding of the subject matter of the articles. All these terms are widely used in the context of strategy and have long histories. For example the idea of Strategic Campaign was first introduced by Sun Tzu in “The Art of War. (6th Century BC). At the simplest level, google searches for the terms when associated with the word “strategy” return a remarkable number of hits


 * Orchestration (strategy) (749,000+)
 * Prime Directive (strategy) (77,000+)
 * Rule of Engagement (strategy) (10,000+)
 * Strategic campaign (63,000+)

Below are just a few specific references that use terms in the context of strategy.

 * PERFORMANCE OF THE B–2 BOMBER IN THE KOSOVO AIR CAMPAIGN


 * How To Command and Control a War


 * Evolution of Air Power


 * The Eagle in the Desert

 * Rand Search – “John Warden”
 * Rand Search – “Strategic Campaign”
 * Rand Search – “Rule of Engagement”

Unfortunately, my COI prevents me from removing the inappropriate references in the current state of the articles or expanding them as appropriate and thus those references and the COI is being used as the only basis to delete.--Mike Cline 14:23, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
