[edit] Primordial (company)

Advert for nn company / product. Author removed prod after a minor copyedit. Deizio talk 00:42, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment, author / CEO has very helpfully posted some media links which demonstrate some local and industry press coverage... still very ad-like, but one to watch. Could be a WP:HEY in the making. Deizio talk 01:22, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete the spam. Not spam anymore, but still doesn't seem notable. RedRollerskate 00:45, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Advertisement/NN --Alan 00:48, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep As the article's author and company's founder, I made several edits in an attempt to eliminate bias. I also added external links to indicate noteworthiness and facilitate verification. Please let me know if you recommend additional changes. --Randy.Milbert 01:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

  Comment The good news is that you have done a nice job of removing its spam-like qualities. The bad news is that the article's still low on content. Also as AdamBiswanger1 pointed out, you have a very low number of Google hits. Just to make sure I covered all the bases, I searched Usenet and Google News and came up with zero hits. We use search engine results as a rule of thumb to determine notability, and you seem to be lacking in that department. RedRollerskate 12:08, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as nn. Plus, 200 google hits. AdamBiswanger1 04:43, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. While google search comes up short, the article does link to 5 articles, at least 2 of which are from what I consider to be reputable websites (not saying the others aren't, I just aren't familiar with them). Google is not (dispite beliefs otherwise) the whole world. Mrjeff 12:58, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete per notability and content. Death Eater Dan (Muahaha) 15:58, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. External links needs cleaning up, though. Business Journal: Drill field-tests Soldier Vision seems to be a bad URL; it links to an article on cancer research. I'm not sure EE Times: Flexible displays, e-paper are around the corner should even be included, as it barely mentions the product, and only because it uses the technology that the article's about. Also, I think it's the product, not the company, that's notable, and since it's really the product that the article's about anyway, it might be appropriate to move to Primordial Soldier. -- Vary | Talk 16:31, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
