[edit] Bill Good Marketing

Delete as advertisement for telemarketing software. Bugwit grunt / scribbles 22:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I am working to remove all advertisement from this article. Any guidance on specific verbage that is problematic would be appreciated. Jared 22:51, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I have made some substantial changes to the page. Rather than just opting to delete the page please advise on any additional changes to the article if possible. Jared 23:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • 'From my comments on the Bill Good Marketing Talk Page:
  • No offense, Jared, but a simple internet search would tell people what your company does...it doesn't take a Wikipedia article to figure it out. From what I have found on the company, I find it difficult to believe that anyone "reading about it" would need any further background information that requires a Wiki article. The fact that you work for the company doesn't help, either, but rather makes it look more like an attempt at advertisement. --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 23:12, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable business (irrespective of whether the article becomes less of an ad, although surely I'm happy that Jared was willing to try adapt the article to Wikipedia standards). Joe 23:24, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I also have to question the validity of the article Bill-Good, which is written by the same author, and contains uncited claims which seem to make the subject notable at first glance, but (to me at least), if you look closely, these uncited claims to fame are not all that notable (e.g. "Fresh out of college, Bill was a statistical analyst in New York with Alan Greenspan"--that's awfully vague about the relationship with Mr. Greenspan). I'll refrain for now from making any move toward deletion, but if someone is so inclined to look into it further... --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 03:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as advertising for a non-notable company. Brian G. Crawford, the so-called "Nancy Grace of AfD" 17:34, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and clean up, as discussed in AfD on the owner, notable business in its field, even if that field ought to be wiped off the face of the earth. Monicasdude 20:25, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
