Weak Keep A search indicates that this phrase is fairly well established, although this article doesn't do a great job at demonstrating it. I added a couple of sources to remove the one specific CN tag. I would however change the primary name to "Circles of Influence", and have Centres be the redirect to that - it's a much more active phrase

Targeted Response@
Otr500: regarding
"Wikipedia is not a dictionary" - only the first line is sole definition, which is standard form. The second part regards things to bear in mind about usage, and the latter considerations about those being included. Regarding
WP:INDISCRIMINATE it doesn't seem to violate any of the standard given variations. General Notability (more specifically, lacking it) would seem the primary grounds to reject this, and I feel it avoids that, just. [p.s. wasn't sure of correct procedure to provide an AfD response severed from comment with a relist - apologies if incorrect]

Reply: Good response to me. The lead states "marketing term" and the article has no distict direction so is vague. It uses wording like "key people within a businesses", "professional advisers of customers". Except to some "specialist" or someone "in the know" this "term" would have no actual meaning and I still don't know what it "actually means" even after reading the article. Try reading the article as a member of the general reader world.

Comment I think the "not a dictionary" argument is valid. The rest of the thin, poorly written article is a marketing advice, which is also something that wikipedia is not
WP:NOTADVICE. I did try to copy edit the article but there isn't anything there to save.

Delete. There might some notoriety for the term, but if this page and the lack of web articles cited is any indication, it's not a full encyclopedia entry's worth of content or cultural significance.
