[edit] TomTom

TomTom (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article violates WP:CORP and WP:NPOV. It does not cite independent sources. This is pure commercial promotion. Iterator12n Talk 19:14, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment. Plenty of 3rd party sources available on this one. Content is mostly factual, the company, its products, and a brief mention of a major outage. No strong POV pushing. Some sources: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. • Gene93k (talk) 19:47, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep -- while this article may lack adequate references, I recommend withdrawing this AfD:
    1. The article states that TomTom trades on the Euronext exchange. Normally companies that trade on a major exchange are considered inherently notable.
    2. A Google News searches >1800 press mentions in the last 30 days. Searching the Google News archives turns up 12,000 more press mentions
    3. Article histories never establish notability but they I note that this article's been edited over 170 times by several dozen different editors
