Unencyclopaedic vanity page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Colmc (talk • contribs)

Comment I extracted as much of the weasel wording and peacock phrases I could. I'll look for some reliable sources later on. DarkSaber2k 15:46, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Delete - Changing to a delete because I can't find any reliable sources for verification. DarkSaber2k 07:53, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Despite of DarkSaber2k's honorable efforts, the article is still full of fuzzy marketing talk like
    • "The response was so good ...."
    • "... this was also well received in the United States where the Podcast reached 100% popularity in its Self Help category" (what is the ""Self Help category" of the United States of America?).
    • "...the show was a hit and grew rapidly since."
As several other editors have remarked before, this looks like a case of blatant abuse of Wikipedia for advertising purposes. And even if someone would do a complete rewrite citing reliable sources, replacing the marketing language with basic facts about the company (how many employees does it have, numbers on revenue and profits, etc.), the question of notability would still remain.

  • Delete it reads like a promotional piece that falls to provide notability. NobutoraTakeda 16:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Far too much like advertising, even after cleanup. I get no Google News hits (archives included), and an Alexa rank of 1.6 million or so doesn't speak well for notability of something primarily internet-based. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:23, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as advertisement. Even with significant cleanup I can't see how this company would be able to meet WP:CORP. -- MarcoTolo 01:02, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
