[edit] Orcon

"This is a very pov article. The only source is the companies website. It seems like the only editors have not done anything to make it more encyclopedic.TheRingess 22:33, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Third largest ISP in NZ looks notable, and it doesn't look very POV to me. Verifiable sources would be good, though. Tonywalton  | Talk 22:48, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep provided something can be found to verify the "3rd largest ISP" claim. POV is not really a reason to delete, unless it's an attack page. -- Saikiri~ 22:59, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Their website [1], on the other hand, says 4th largest ISP in NZ and the largest ISP that's wholly New Zealand-owned... -- Saikiri~ 23:02, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I agree, pov doesn't mean delete. So I'm going to take a Wait And See attitude. If someone wants to step up to the plate, and cite sources for many of the claims (besides just the website itself) and is willing to periodically double check the claims to keep the article accurate, then I say keep it. Not that I'm volunteering or anything...TheRingess 23:04, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
      • Haha. ^ ^ Hard to work up enthusiasm for this, isn't it? The infored business directory confirms that it's the largest NZ-owned ISP. [2] I'll check out the other claims later. -- Saikiri~ 23:27, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Appears to meet WP:CORP with three Google News hits from significant New Zealand papers see [3]. Capitalistroadster 01:07, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Big, notable ISP (by NZ standards, at least). Grutness...wha? 01:28, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of New Zealand-related deletions. Capitalistroadster 01:07, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
