merge proposal doesn't satisfy my concern to PROD it. WP:NEO spam with nothing sourced to merge. Widefox; talk 23:08, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Crossing the Chasm. Here's another source using the term indicating that it's not just a spammy neologism. I agree that it's not independently notable but it is a term that people are searching for and linking to and should be kept at least as a redirect. ~Kvng (talk) 23:39, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Textbook WP:NEO "Articles on neologisms that have little or no usage in reliable sources are commonly deleted,..." (emphasis own): yes

"... as these articles are often created in an attempt to use Wikipedia to increase usage of the term. " : yes (COI spam)

Here's is just a passing mention. Widefox; talk 09:04, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect over to Crossing the Chasm. I think the current 'pre-chasm' article here is, as argued above, pretty useless. The term would be helpful as a redirect, however. I think I would only add something like this to the book's page: Commentators such as ____ remarked on how Moore advises an ambidextrous approach to product development alongside marketing to achieve product-market fit (and that's it).
