Call for input

I am a student of strategic management - hope I can get other students to help me beef up the content. I'm thinking of - at minimum - a summary of the themes offered in Leaders: The Strategies for Taking Charge that he co-authored with Warren Bennis.

I also contest deletion. I believe that this article can be rehabilitated to conform with Wikipedia standards. I was hoping to start that process soon. Note that the subject, Burton Nanus, has been a leading figure in the early development of many management concepts that have gone into mainstream practice. Co-authored a key leadership/management book with Warren Bennis - still valid and discussed in high-level business academics. I suspect that the same person who wrote the SpeakerPedia posted identical text here - so while the claim of infringement is valid, it can be rectified with original text that contains citations, which I am willing to do.

UPDATE - I contacted associates of mine at Marshall School of Business @ USC. They are gearing up resources to help me rescue Burt Nanus' wikipedia article. First off - Nanus is retired. No commercial interests. However, his life's work touches other major developers of modern management like Douglas McGregor, Warren Bennis, and Peter Drucker. I have also found quite a few citable sources to establish his prominence in the business management field. I noticed that other editors have also joined in. I hope I can keep up.
