[edit] Western Sydney IT Cluster

Advertising cruft. The only entries in the list with pages are Advanet, currently up for Speedy, and Galexo, created by the same user as Advanet and this page, also adcruft. KillerChihuahua 15:22, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. An initiative of the NSW Government to develop IT businesses in Western Sydney see (http://www.business.nsw.gov.au/help.asp?cid=175&subCid=177). A search of Australian newspapers has found 13 references to this in recent years.Capitalistroadster 17:38, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The buisnesses involved may not deserve their own page, but the initiative is run by the NSW government and seems to have a lot of members. I would say this is worth keeping. --Martyman-(talk) 23:18, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment if consensus is "keep", should have the list of companies removed and a cleanup tag added: this aricle was created by an editorial group who have been banned en masse for SEO entries; as the article is it is adcruft, but if the group is determined noteable certainly it should stay and be improved.

• I have now remove the list of companies from the article. --Martyman-(talk) 20:43, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

  • Um, the website of the initiativ eis linked to on the page. --Martyman-(talk) 00:06, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
• Delete NN. From precedents : Malls and shops are not generally notable, Small companies are not generally notable, all thats left on this page is advertising. Agnte 23:40, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
  • It is not a mall, shop or small buisness. It is a government initiative. I agree the article is crap but that is not a good enough reason to delete it. Show me the precedent for deleting government initiatives. --Martyman-(talk) 00:06, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
