[edit] The King's Cleaning Service, Inc.
WP:SPAM. No independent sources to establish the notability of this local cleaning business. It's apparently been speedily deleted at least once before; probably needs to be salted. Cap'n Walker 15:13, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. I remember this was previously speedily-deleted as spam, but the author has toned it down a lot this time around. Nevertheless, no WP:Verifiability and little notability. Accounting4Taste 15:39, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and salt - It's still spam. The guy is not taking "not notable" for an answer. --Orange Mike 16:38, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and salt I remember this one as well, and it still makes no assertion of notability. Acroterion (talk) 16:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment to below: Maid-Rite, for instance, has been around since 1926, has numerous locations in several states, and has had articles published about them in a major newspaper. The article under consideration is for an organization which is non-notable by Wikipedia's standards. Acroterion (talk) 03:34, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm the author of this article. I'm not sure how this is considered spam. There is nothing in the article that points the customer towards the website or services of the company. Obviously the companies name is in the writings but that is pretty much unavoidable in every entry made. Granted, this is my first entry from Wikipedia and I am not use to the standards/rules expected of a person. As for notability, I suppose it depends on how Wikipedia defines it. Are there local magazines relevant to the company that have published articles pertaining to them, yes. Are these magazines as credible as TIME, Fortune, or even GQ, no. So I can see how it shall be based on one's perception.
As I was publishing this article, I followed the guideline used by Maid Rite at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maid-Rite .
Any help and info is greatly appreciated.
- Delete. The problem is that it's just not notable. If it had a contract to clean the White House, it would still not be worth an article, unless it happened to screw up in some spectacular manner or found incriminating papers that led to Bush's impeachment, something that would make the newspapers sit up and take notice.

- Delete Just another cleaning service company. After deleting PR and Wikipedia hits on Google there was one left --- a blog where the person mentions in passing that he works there. jonathon 18:48, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
