Talk:Vasa syndrome

Untitled

The article on Vasa Syndrome should not be deleted because there is currently not a Wikipedia page explaining this content. There is a Wikipedia page for the ship 'the Vasa' from which the syndrome got its name. Vasa Syndrome is legitimate marketing and managing terminology that refers to an organization that suffers from poor communication, the inability to adapt, overactive top management, or projects that are pushed through the system quickly. This is an important article to have on Wikipedia because it gives both a description and examples of the syndrome so that both organizations and team projects can learn from the mistakes made in the building of 'the Vasa'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lmoloney (talk • contribs) 04:08, 29 April 2010

I'm not going to comment on whether this concept actually deserves it's own article, but as long as there is one it should be made absolutely clear that this is about modern management and marketing. The use of an historical example is clearly only an illustration. Whether the original Vasa disaster was actually a good example of mismanagement is a very different matter.

I'm stressing this because so that Kessler, Bierly and Gopalakrishnan should not to be used to make factual claims about the history of the Vasa. In this matter, reliable historical research should be used.

Not firing a single shot

The article says that "the idea of Vasa as a flawed project has remained, especially in view of the fact that she did sink without ever firing a single shot in anger", sourced offline. Aside from the unencyclopedic tone, this strikes me as odd, as in the museum they claim that the ship fired some shots from the harbor in celebration before sailing, supported by multiple random online source, like this. Which version is correct, and should this even be in the article? —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 03:31, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
