  • Weak keep not because it's a well-advertised firm in this neck of the woods, but because of this GC article and having won some sort of Consumer Choice Award for numerous years. Weak Keep, personally, because of numerous complaints I've heard from friends. --Perfecto 03:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Perfecto, but cleanup. Ardenn 03:57, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This company is just not important enough to merit an article. Their size isn't substantial enough, and notwithstanding their size, they haven't done anything interesting or special to merit an article in any encyclopedia, anywhere. Derekwriter 04:31, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Based on Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations), delete --YUL89YYZ 13:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Not worth mentioning in any manner. Janizary 16:56, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. At least in my recent necks in the woods - Ottawa and North York, Ontario - MDG is very significant in the computer market. -Joshuapaquin 04:07, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I don't like the company, but doesn't mean they aren't notable. Clean entry to remove elements of advertising. --Dogbreathcanada 07:12, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I see this company in papers every day. I guess they are a competitor to Dell, Future shop etc. and therefore significant. --apple
  • Keep. I don't like the company either, but if I can't say that's a reason to delete the entry. there's lots of weird stuff in here... like McDeals :) Maybe someone can expand on the article, offering more historical information? Just trying to help. -- vogue99

  • They are a reasonably notable Canadian computer sales company — though we don't necessarily all shop there, I can guarantee you that the overwhelming majority of computer-literate people in Canada at least know what MDG is. That said, the article does read kind of spammishly, and I'd be hard-pressed to improve it myself since the only source I'd have for information is their own site. If there's a reasonable possibility of cleanup, then I'll vote weak keep, but I reserve the right to withdraw that if I don't see some evidence that anyone can turn it into anything more than an ad.
