[edit] Han-Tek, Inc.

Han-Tek, Inc. (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Recreated after CSD. Fails WP:CORP. The company's only claim to notability is tenuous at best. There are no reliable sources for the firm, only press releases and the firm's own website.

According to this article (you'll have to judge its reliability on your own [1] there are over a quarter of a million firms with ISO:9000 worldwide. Its a certification. You meet their standards, pay for an audit and then keep paying for the audit once you get it. Is there any evidence that this is a remarkable feat? Have other material handling firms attempted to get certification and were denied? Montco 03:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Actually this from one of the ISO governing bodies reports that there were over a half million firms at the end of 2001. Montco 03:29, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete. It was speedily deleted before, and after looking at the article it should be speedily deleted again. A small 50-person firm with ISO certification isn't notable. The fact that they "partner" with bigger firms isn't notable either. =Axlq 04:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • What other ways can you site an article, other than through the websites. Do you want citations from books and pages? I am just not sure how else you site an article that is this type. Secondly I don't understand why companies that do the exact same thing as Han-Tek are on Wikipedia but you are trying to delete Han-Tek! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.39.225.137 (talk • contribs) 19 July 2007
    • Note conflict of interest: IP address 24.39.225.137 resolves to mail.han-tek.com. This is the primary editor of the article, and possibly the creator User:HTStewart (who has edited only the Han-Tek, Inc. article).
    • To the Han-Tek editor: Please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Also, we don't evaluate articles against other articles, we evaluate them on their own merits. Other articles that deserve deletion should be proposed for deletion. =Axlq 14:36, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as patently failing WP:N and WP:V. VanTucky (talk) 18:36, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete, A7 Pretty obvious vanispamtisement. Strongly recommend salting if this article is recreated. Blueboy96 19:57, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Bearian 19:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment It seems that 24.39.225.137 (alias HTStewart) removed the AfD tag not long after weighing in here. [2] Both parties have been level-3 warned; good faith can no longer be assumed. Blueboy96 20:02, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per Blueboy96 --NeilN 14:01, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
