[edit] CKX, Inc.

Advertisement, text copied from the company's website. I PRODded it but it was contested by the article's creator [1]. Delete. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 13:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as advertising. JIP | Talk 14:28, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep Keep (changed to Keep following Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr.'s edit) there's so much to dislike about this article. The content is a direct lift from the one linked webpage (could be copy-vio?). Its horrible vacuous management speak. As it stands this article is horrible. But, the company owns Graceland and the rights to Elvis Presley's image. That's pretty notable. I'd much rather see this properly wikified and expaanded than just deleted. Like it or not, companies like this are an important part of our contemporary world and an encyclopedia should cover them. Sigh, Gwernol 18:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrite and keep - It owns the rights to Elvis and part of the rights to the Idols franchise; that's notable enough for me, even if all we can get is a stub.— stickguy (:^›)— home - talk - 18:35, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrite and keep as above; the company's notable. ProhibitOnions 21:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete As much as the company itself may be relevant, the entry is badly done and shouldn't stay there until someone does rewrite it. If there are wikipedians knowledgeable enough about the topic, they'll do a new entry. Meanwhile, it is against the purpose of Wikipedia. Evillan 21:37, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - gotta agree with Evillan on this. You can't just slap up your corporate spam on WP and expect others to NPOV it. Wickethewok 23:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
• Rewrote - keep Notable company. Cleaned and rewrote; now a valid corp-stub with useful info. Still needs verification and some work. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 00:17, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Elvis connections creates reasonable notability. OhNoitsJamie^Talk 23:15, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
