Crosby Textor (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

PR piece. Article fails WP:NOTABILITY, WP:CORP. Was deleted twice previously. Hu12 23:32, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment If it was already deleted twice this should be speedied and not afd'd, esp given the appallingly low quality, SqueakBox 00:18, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
  • We all have seen these types marketing pieces come back over and over again, afd gives the immediate option of deleting future spam articles like this immediately under WP:CSD#g4.--Hu12 00:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
  • delete pure advertisement and fails to establish notability as well, SqueakBox 23:36, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete vanispamisement. Bigdaddy1981 00:10, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. The two directors of this company are notable and have articles, which I note need cleaning up, but I do not think the company itself is notable, even though it plays an important role in Australian elections. --Bduke 00:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. The company is clearly notable as are its directors. Google News Archives gets 150 results for "Crosby Textor" and 170 odd in the archives. [1]. However, the article is very poor quality although I don't believe it is spam. For one thing, Coalition and Australia are both mispelt. Capitalistroadster 02:01, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I think those google stats prove the non-notability, the company I work for has 26,000 hits but no article and that is far more the norm for small to medium companies. I agree its too por quality to be real spam but it is an ad, SqueakBox 02:15, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Comment rather a good point, mine has 54,000 and operates in a niche market and has about 30 employees and (rightly so) has no article. Bigdaddy1981 05:41, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete as recreation of deleted material. I suggest salting the deleted page to prevent further recreation.--Alasdair 03:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
