[edit] IT People

Prodded as "non notable", but due to their role on The Apprentice, I'm inclined to think that's not so obvious, so I brought this here for a vote. Neutral myself. Mangojuicetalk 12:51, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete I {{prod}}ed the article originally. In it's own terms, I'd say the company is non notable in that it fails to meet WP:CORP. Its perceived notablity seems to hinge on the fact that it is run by Syed Ahmed — a contestant on The Apprentice. I wouldn't exactly say it played a "role" in The Apprentice however, and already gets a mention on Syed's bio in the Apprentice article. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 13:19, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:CORP. I don't watch British (or indeed any) TV, but if he starred in a program, why is his firm notable? Possibly redirect to something related to IT professionals. Sandstein 13:20, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Syed's appearance on the Apprentice is notable. He himself is borderline notable, I guess. His company is not notable enough to be deserving of a separate article.Vizjim 13:32, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom, unsourced. By the bye, people ought not just swallow the claim raw that this guy appeared on UK Apprentice. For one thing, he doesn't appear on the cast or guest list off of IMDB - [1]. RGTraynor 13:44, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
    • He did - trust me. A more obnoxious, irritating, cocky little *&^%$$£er never strutted the Earth. The Apprentice has links to the BBC website and his own website. Vizjim 13:58, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Yes, I can assure you he did — I watched the series. See [2] IMDb's list for season two doesn't seem very updated. Incidently, delete per nom doesn't really make sense, since the nominator voted neutral. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 21:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete not notable other than their connection to Syed, who has no article (and no, he shouldn't have, he's not notable outside of Apprentice). Just zis Guy you know? 14:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn. --Terence Ong 04:46, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, relation to someone who appeared in a reality television program does not make an association, company or person notable. Cedars 09:25, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
