- Wikipedia has some fairly strong notability requirements for companies, which you may view at Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations). There is a further requirement that the entry be written by a disinterested third party. You might review those pages and see if that gets you anywhere. Luckily, Wikipedia also requires a third set of eyes on this (the administrator) prior to deletion. They may be able to make some other suggestions for you. Good luck!

- Capital IQ has filed and enforces US patents, i think that makes it notable http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT7089229&id=zL96AAAAEBAJ&dq=%22capital+iq%22&jtp=1 Evanreiser 15:30, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think this article should be deleted.
- 1. Capital IQ should qualify as web content.
- 2. Many, many people in the corporate finance world use it (at least analysts)
- 3. "CapIQ" has become a slang term for doing relatively sophisticated, but easy company searches. Exp: "Do you have any targets for XY corp?" "Nah, I'll just do a CapIQ on it"
- 4. I guess my instinct here is that because Capital IQ is a popular web service and research tool in corporate finance, it should be given a little bit of slack on the notability. Esp. because the corporate finance career is appealing to many college age students, and knowing what CapIQ is likely to help them get a job.
- 5. I will try to work on the article when I have some time, so just don't delete it yet. 192.195.154.163 10:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
CapitalIQ is a premiere tool in the Finance industry used by over 1700 firms, anyone in finance would think its absurd that this page keeps getting deleted Evanreiser 15:22, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
