[edit] Needham & Company

Needham & Company (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Considered speedy G11 (blatant corporate spam, also unsourced), but asserted notability made me go {{prod}} route. tag removed in good faith with comment to add sources. I may reconsider nomination if article is significantly improved, but as written, article is still IMO unacceptably unsourced and promotional. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 14:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete as spam unless totally rewritten. - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 14:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up. (I'm the one who removed the deletion proposal.) Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Special note: advertising and promotion recommends three steps in sequence, with deletion being last: (1) clean up to make the point of view neutral; (2) delete remaining advertising content; (3) delete the article if there's nothing left. While I agree with Baccyak4H that there's a lot of advertising in it, I believe there'd be enough left after removing the advertising words to keep an article. Fg2 00:35, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I agree too that it needs third-party sources. Fg2 00:36, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - looks notable to me. It may well be self-promotion and so lack WP:NPOV, but that requires an edit not a delete. Peterkingiron 22:52, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. The article needs to assert notability under WP:CORP. The article still reads like an advert and does not offer any independent references. Vegaswikian 00:00, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
