[edit] 21 Ventures

21 Ventures (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Blatant COI by User:Danthony21 (presumably the David Anthony listed on 21 Ventures' management team), on 21 Ventures and its companies Dicklyon 06:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are all about private companies funded by 21 Ventures (Or their product), and all were created by Danthony21:

BioNanoMatrix (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Juice Wireless (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

JuiceCaster (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Orion Solar (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Addendum: You might as well throw in

BioPetroClean (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

another of 21 Ventures' investments, though this article is originally the work of Yfrimer (talk · contribs), for which this constitutes his entire contribution to Wikipedia. --Calton | Talk 16:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete "A golden ring on a pig's nose" (Book of Proverbs) - the references don't ameliorate the fundamental WP:NPOV problem caused by the COI. Shalom ^Hello 08:38, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - pure spam. See WP:COIN#21 Ventures. MER-C 12:47, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete all - no claim of notability is made here, and there are multiple COI problems as noted. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as unsalvagable POV due to COI. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Due to the substancial conflict of interest and the fact its simple SPAM, nor is suitable. The Sunshine Man is now Qst 15:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
• weak keep for the main article, delete the others. The company probably is just notable enough. DGG 03:47, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

• Based on what? The article's only refs are some press releases and a trade magazine announcement that clearly started out as a press release. Wikipedia doesn't really do faith-based notability. --Calton | Talk 16:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Welcome to David Anthony's unsourced and unnotable walled garden. --Calton | Talk 16:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
• Keep some, delete some:
  • 21 Ventures -- it meets our notability critieria by having an article written about it in the Jerusalem Post.^[1]
  • BioPetroClean appears non-notable
  • BioNanoMatrix has multiple articles in the Philadelphia Business Journal^[2][3] -- but is that publication notable? (The parent, American City Business Journals, has an article, but most of its papers do not -- this question has been a gray area in discussions of notability in other AfDs.) From skimming the first 100 Google search results, I'm guessing BioNanoMatrix may be notable.
  • Juice Wireless has articles in GigaOM,^[4] venturebeat.com,^[5] American Venture Magazine,^[6] Business Week (but just 2 paragraphs),^[7] Mobile Marketing Magazine,^[8] Wireless Week,^[9] and Xchange Magazine.^[10]
  • JuiceCaster is a Juice Wireless product and should be merged into Juice Wireless.

I did not have time to check out Orion. --A. B. ^(talk) 22:30, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
