Fuel Europe (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Self-promotion, fails WP:CORP Jfire (talk) 07:24, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep This award they "won" (according to the site they were actually an honorable mention" seems non-trivial; it brings up a lot of Google and several Google News hits. This company itself is rather hard to search for given its name, but it's been mentioned along with one of its founders a couple times in Google News stories. Agreed that the source given doesn't support the article's claim that "Fuel is widely seen to be the leading corporate education company in Europe," but it does seem to indicate some notability. Not too sure here, but when in doubt, don't delete. -Elmer Clark (talk) 07:43, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Be very wary of those Google News hits. Anything that says "presswire" or "PR Newswire" or similar means that it is almost certainly a press release written by the company; i.e. self-promotion and not significant third-party coverage. I can't find any third-party coverage of this company. And as you noted, they didn't win the award, they were only a "special mention". I see nothing here that passes WP:CORP, and the article was written by an employee. Jfire (talk) 07:54, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Sufficient notability not suggested, low on encyclopedical value. Pavel Vozenilek (talk) 18:27, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
