Queried speedy delete for db-corp. Anthony Appleyard 21:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - Doesn't seem to be much more than a pseudo-advert. No sources, nothing to show it's any better or any worse than any other firm of its type. Doesn't meet WP:CORP as it currently stands. I've no idea what grounds they had for querying the CSD. Personally I'd have left it on, it's something I would have speedied. They didn't even bother to use {{hangon}} and just went for your user talk. Even then they used the WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument. --WebHamster 01:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:CSD#A7. I don't see anything that asserts notability. --Bfigura ^(talk) 03:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Do not Delete. Notability is subjective. Of course, for someone not interested in engineering, new product development or product lifecycle management, this article does not seem to be notable. But for people interested in those topics, it is notable as it illustrates the growing importance and increasing coverage of the PLM market and introduces one of its main players to the interested public. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.231.209.86 (talk) 17:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Notability is not subjective, we have very clear guidelines. -- Roleplayer 00:39, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete I was going to A7 speedy it too, but let's give it the full run. It fails WP:CORP. - KrakatoaKatie 12:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per arguments above, in particular, fails to assert notability, reads like an advertisement. Contributor history indicates WP:SOAPBOX violation promoting this org, thus WP:COI. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 02:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete without prejudice. No indepedent verification of... well, anything. Note that all the available variations on metafore.com, .org, .ca, .net have been registered by different companies (all offering different services related to technology or development), making independent research of this company very difficult. As it stands the article is pure PR. Maybe it could be re-created once they get some press coverage? Sheffield Steel^talkers_stalkers 17:40, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
