[edit] OneCone International

Completely non-notable faux "company" with forum/Web site hosted by Freewebs. Prodded but contested by article creator, who claims to be the "CEO" of the company. FCYTravis 02:36, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Company does exsist, in Melbourne, Australia. Has indeed been around since 2001. Thefourdotelipsis 02:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment. The act of existing doesn't automatically guarantee anything a Wikipedia article. I'm sorry for any confusion on that note. Deletion is not a personal indictment of you or your company, and should not be viewed as such. You can be a fantastic person/company/whatever, but still not be right for an encyclopedia, yanno?

• Delete The article itself describes it as a "minor company" and reports that at one time they had as many as twenty people, but not anymore. Sounds awfully nn to me. Fan1967 02:47, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete It managed to completely avoid Google all these years? Amazing. non-notable corporation. — Adrian Lamo ·· 02:48, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

• Do Not Delete Seems perfectly harmless, I've heard of it. 61.69.12.12 03:02, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Talk page bleats that the company means something to people in Melbourne; not according to google.com.au. --die Baumfabrik 03:04, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. This is one of those times userboxes might be helpful. Can we find some Melbourne wikipedians to comment on notability apart from the one person on the article talk page? Martinp 03:22, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

• CommentI apologize profusely. Some B**tard was using my "Fourdotelipsis" name. I've changed my password now, but anyway: OneCone is actually a small community that has grown since it's inception in 2001, and has ranged from the production of e-books (which were scrapped), Internet communities, and now, film production and release. The "OneCone International" name is just a doppleganger created by some idiots who though it would be a good name for a company. In truth, it's more like a creative forum that has no real home. May I suggest that I recreate the more accurate content under the name of "OneCone" or no? Thefourdotelipsis 05:11, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

The obvious question would be, is this organization or creative forum in fact notable? From your description it sounds not. Fan1967 05:31, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

• Well, it may well be. The most notable part would have to be the involvemnent with film production, as well as the major internet societies made in early 2005 (until May). There are plans to begin script writing for feature length films, time will only tell. Fact of the matter is, I do hear "What the hell is OneCone" so often, that an article may well be useful.

  • You know, I have to say, I do not, in fact, ever hear that question ;-) Fan1967 05:59, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, in fact, the odds are strong that you wouldn't have. But I would also say that you had never heard of Maarek Stele Thefourdotelipsis 06:08, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. --Terence Ong 09:33, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete per the eloquent arguments made in the article itself, apart from anything else. Just zis Guy you know? 12:32, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

• While I was impressed to read that "A web page is currently in development, with completion expected in late 2006", I think I'm gonna have to go with Delete as well. --Xyzzyplugh 14:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete NN advertising. --AaronS 18:50, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Shoulda just used {{prod}} on this one. Cyde Weys 21:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
  • As my nomination notes, article was prodded and contested. FCYTravis 22:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
