[edit] C/D/H

Non-notable company, advertisement — Frecklefoot | Talk 21:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete: Non-notable company, complete advertisement, essentially a copy of Conway, Dierking & Hillman, also marked for deletion, and is the only page that links to this one. — Frecklefoot | Talk 21:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete because it does not meet WP:CORP standards. Allisonmontgomery69 21:51, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
• Do Not Delete C/D/H is a thought leader on IT issues in Michigan. Organization has published significant research, white papers, OP-ED pieces on IT issues.Leadingindicator5022 12:52, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • And I bet if we had an administrator check the archives, we'd see you wrote the article. While you can vote here, we have to assume your vote is somewhat biased. — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
    • You would lose the bet. I didn't write the article, and you assume too much. I do admit to a bias. It is a bias of knowledge--I know this organization and the respect they have state-wide on IT issues. They are frequently quoted and written about in mainstream business publications. They do exist, they are credible experts on IT issues, and they have made serious contributions to the body of knowledge on IT matters. Why would we seek to deny them a place here?Leadingindicator5022 16:33, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
  • If all that you claim is true, why is it they're not mentioned in the pedia except by their mirror articles? And the reason I claimed you wrote the article is because the only contribution you've made to the 'pedia is opposing the deletion of this article (the history says that Alyssaallen created the article, but it's easy to create sockpuppets). I'm not saying it's not a real company, I'm just saying they haven't done anything important enough to have an article. — Frecklefoot | Talk 17:36, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

"Important enough" is a fairly subjective term. WP Corporate Standards are:

A company or corporation is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself.

A competent online search will show that C/D/H clearly meets this standard. The article on C/D/H should stand. Leadingindicator5022 18:51, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
