- Delete - Not notable enough to merit an article. --Cswrye 20:15, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Correct me if I am wrong...but isnt this supposed to be an encyclopedia. I would think that company information if any would also merit inclusion. If you feel that the external hyperlinks are a problem they can certainly be removed, but I dont see the merit in deleting the article as the company information may be usefull to some other users...Pick of India 20:36, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The question is whether a web site is notable enough to merit inclusion in this. Wikipedia is not a web directory, nor is it a source of advertising. --Deathphoenix 20:45, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- How pleasant of you to come here and use this website's resources (without paying) to promote your company and your website. Such finesse! Did you read Wikipedia:Your first article before starting the article? Read our established guidelines for website inclusion and company inclusion and see what contributions are welcome. -- Perfecto 20:50, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It is indeed supposed to be an encyclopaedia, not a business directory. That's what Yellowikis is for. If you wish to demonstrate that your company merits an encyclopaedia article, please demonstrate that more than a simple business directory listing can be written about it in a manner that adheres to our Verifiability and No original research policies, by pointing to any independently-sourced "in depth" magazine articles, books, significant news stories, papers published in journals, television documentaries, or consumer reports that are about the company. Please demonstrate that the company satisfies our WP:CORP criteria. Uncle G 20:55, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough delete it if you feel that this it is not "notable" enough. I would have thought that the term encyclopedia would mean a repository of information (and in my view any and all information because you never know what is relevant to whom). I could understand your views if the intention was only to try and get PR for the site, but I assure you that was not my aim (hence the suggestion for removal of all external hyperlinks). My 2 cents...:) Pick of India 20:59, 10 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nom. I was going to vote transwiki to Yellowikis, but I see it's already there. D-Rock 13:04, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
