Delete - Article reads like an ad, plus not notable... 00:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolasdz (talk • contribs) 2007/04/30 00:59:37

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 12:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Non notable, probably an ad. Rehevkor 15:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Plenty of notability. They are a major USAID contractor. Here's a link to an NY times article about controversy over the company being awarded a contract in Iraq in 2003 [1], and a summary of 'interesting' contracts from Centre for Public Integrity [2]. Plenty more second party references available through Google. Also Wikipedia has articles on John Snow, Inc, Boston Consulting Group, Parsons Corporation, Booz Allen Hamilton etc which are other engineering or 'contract management' companies. However, the article needs to be expanded - without advertising language so the other tags are appropriate. Paxse 18:38, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, I've done some cleanup and added sources. This is a smaller player than KBR or Halliburton but is closely associated with U.S. dollars-for-development politics. --Dhartung | Talk 10:20, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Stoic atarian 20:33, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
• Rewrite Apparently they work with the US Agency for International Development, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, Inter-American Development Bank and others, governments, and organizations. I would call that notable. Slavlin 04:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
