Where to begin?[edit]

While I believe that there is a place in Wikipedia for information on the phenomenon of marketing speak, that brand of language one often encounters in marketing material that favours impressive-sounding vocubulary over clarity (language of the "synergistic productivity enablement" variety, as lampooned by one of the many web-based "bullshit generators" (eg. http://www.dack.com/web/bullshit.html )), this article is clearly in no fit state to stand alone. Only the first sentence (fragment) is actually relevant, while the rest is apparently referring to computer jargon, a largely separate phenomenon already covered adequately in Wikipedia. Therefore I've flagged it as in need of attention, and possibly for merging with the existing article on marketing, as I don't believe even some well-written information on the marketing speak phenomenon is sufficient to merit its own article.--85.210.10.110 00:44, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, scratch that - I just found Wikipedia's existing article on buzzwords, and it already covers this ground. Changed merge suggestion to merge and redirect to buzzword article.--85.210.10.110 01:12, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
