[edit] The Ronto Group

Non-notable company, as far as I can tell. As per CSD-A7, it can be speedily deleted. EVula 22:40, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete advertisement. --MECU≈talk 23:37, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I have added a criticisms section so this reads less like an ad. Justinpwilsonadvocate 15:02, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable real estate development company. Among the larger such companies in the US and among the largest in rapidly growing South Florida. Please do not speedy delete, at least let its notability be debated. Justinpwilsonadvocate 04:38, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment So... debate it. As the creator of the article, you should be able to provide some evidence of notability. I'm fine with not summarily deleting the article if notability can be proven. I don't think it can, but I'd be perfectly happy to be wrong. Well, in this instance, that is. ;) EVula 05:11, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment I have added several references to the article that establish Ronto's regional notability....quite a bit of hits on google news (showing substantial recent media attention to their projects). If necessary I will head to the Lexis Nexis to find older references. Hope this helps. Justinpwilsonadvocate 13:03, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I have certainly heard of this company...seems to get a lot of media attention down here as a major player in the southern florida development industry. plus has plenty of sources / evidence of notability. unclear at this point why it would make sense to delete this.

Comment The article now has sources; when I nominated it, it did not.[1] It certainly doesn't qualify for speedy deletion now, and it has been expanded some, but it still needs a lot of work, and all of the actual sources come from a single site (naplesnews.com). EVula 16:02, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

It seems that the dominant newspaper in an area is enough to establigh local /regional notability, and local / regional notability is sifficient for inclusion per wikipedia guidelines. Justinpwilsonadvocate 18:05, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
