[edit] Montalbano Innovation and Development Inc.
Non notable company. The article was created by the company's CEO, who freely admits on its talk page that "I am the author of Montalbano Innovation and Development Inc. (MIDI) Article. (...) I own the company, I own all copyrights, and created/own all of the text and information that was used in the article which I leveraged from my companys website www.montalbanoinc.com".
Thus in addition to non notability, in breach of WP:COI and WP:spam/advertising. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 18:19, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy delete spam, with COI; no evidence of notability --Orange Mike | Talk 18:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

- Weak delete I think the company may have won enough awards to meet WP:CORP, but I'm not able to find sources beyond their own press releases. --Ronz (talk) 18:54, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

- Delete without prejudice to re-creation as a real article. There is no part of this article (other than perhaps the very first sentence) that is not spam. One normally simply prunes spam from an article about a notable subject but here there would be nothing left to save. Wikidemo (talk) 18:00, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- "MIDI has received a number of awards for their work, including an Industrial Design Excellence Award." is verifiable, but is it enough to meet WP:CORP and write an article around? --Ronz (talk) 19:15, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
