[edit] M&A International Inc.

M&A International Inc. (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This nomination was begun by User:Rcar. I'm finishing it for him. The subject of the article appears to fail WP:CORP. YechielMan 00:53, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Fails WP:CORP: unlisted on any stock exchange index, for example. Article appears to have been created by an executive director of the company. — BillC talk 01:52, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • This is a complete misapplication of the WP:CORP stock index guideline, turning it on it's head to argue anything not listed is not notable. Dhaluza 19:01, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep; this is an industry body, not a company. John Vandenberg 06:54, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - It is not an industry body. According to both the article and its website it is an alliance of companies. Tikiwont 15:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • OK. My point more in regards to YechielMan's expectation that it should be listed on a stock exchange; it probably wont be due to it's nature. John Vandenberg 21:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. A non-notable consortium of consulting businesses, from what I gather from its website. ([1]). - Smerdis of Tlön 15:39, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: I've notified the creator of the article -- Tikiwont 15:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless proper sources validating WP:CORP are provided. Tikiwont 15:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless corporate notability can be demonstrated. Philippe Beaudette 18:54, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless it can be altered to pass WP:CORP. TonyTheTiger 19:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Verkhovensky 00:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep the non-notability standard is that the article cannot be improved to meet WP:V, WP:RS and WP:NPOV, it's not a judgment on the current quality of an article as the previous commenters contend. As a private consortium, it is more difficult to meet these requirements, but the actual notability of this organization is pretty obvious, and the article should be treated as a stub. I added a little tidbit from a related web site, but this needs further improvement. Dhaluza 19:01, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Note I did some clean-up and tagged as a stub needing expert help. The volume of economic activity claimed implies notability, but the article needs improvement from a subject expert.Dhaluza 01:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
