[edit] White Hat Marketing

White Hat Marketing (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Delete article about recently-founded SEO company. It gets about 1500 non-Wikipedia hits on an internet search, many of them from link farms and blogs. Seems to fail WP:CORP. Mindmatrix 20:56, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi... not sure how I'm supposed to partipate here, but hopefully this works. Anyway, I input this entry on White Hat Marketing as an encyclopediac entry on an SEO marketing business. I dont' know anything about the link farms, but the blogs concerned are not personal blogs but rather business ones which operate as websites in themselves regarding the topic they cover. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Librarian at Terminus (talk • contribs) 03:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

  • As the article currently stands I would've said Speedy Delete as spam; however; stubbing it a bit more and taking out some of the spammy elements may allow it to be expanded properly with reliable 3rd party sources and such. Jasynnash2 (talk) 14:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Reads like an ad and is non-notable. asenine t/c\r 16:01, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per above, failing WP:CORP and WP:N. ArcAngel (talk) 17:43, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I'm still not sure what the problem is. It's an encyclopediac entry about the company. How is it any different from any other entry about a company? It tells what the company does. I just don't see how this is spam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Librarian at Terminus (talk • contribs) 01:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete Because not every company belongs on wikipedia. Wikipedia entries for companies must follow WP:CORP. those companies must have significant secondary source coverage or otherwise be significant in their fields in order to merit inclusion. Protonk (talk) 18:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
