[edit] Ygnition

Cable/broadband company, no indication of meeting WP:CORP. Article is full of OR and written more as a consumer advisory than an encyclopedia article. --Celithemis 23:34, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete fails CORP.--Kchase T 00:10, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. 150,000 apartment units across nine states sounds like a lot of customers and hence a lot of money. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 00:54, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • How much money a company makes is irrelevant to whether it warrants an encyclopaedia article. Editors below have used WP:CORP. You will notice that they are discussing sources of information, not corporate income. Uncle G 12:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, NPOV cleanup This is the only news item I found related to the company, but it does satisfy a WP:CORP criteria. I noticed this article when it was initially created, as it read like a soapbox rant against the company. I've asked the creator to try to tone it down and follow rules of verifiability, but I see that the current version is only slightly improved. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 01:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I noticed that too, but CORP requires multiple works. In any case, unless there's more, I don't think that is enough to do an NPOV article.--Kchase T 01:50, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm learning my way around wikipedia and revising and filling in.. I can see problems.. google ygnition and all you get are their ads, reports of their finacial mergers and movements or complaints. Complaints start at @11th entryDragongrey 04:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and clean up. The best way to avoid POV may be to prune it down to a stub since most of the references to Ygnition on the web are either advertising-speak or complaints from extremely bitter customers. Thatdog 04:42, 15 August 2006 (UTC) (Disclosure: I'm an extremely bitter ex-customer!)
• Delete fails WP:CORP. Eusebeus 04:53, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Co-branded partner with Vonage, which is certainly listed on NYSE. Forbes reviewed Vonage as "viable"[1]Dragongrey 06:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Being listed on the stock exchange is not a criterion for inclusion. And the existence of a Forbes article on a completely different company has no bearing upon this company. Uncle G 12:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
