[edit] Yum Domains

Company is non-notable except in the context of it's owner Brad Hines whose article has already been AFD'd several times. wtfunkymonkey 01:54, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - Fails the notabilty criteria for a company. It would need to satisfy one of the following:

1. The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company or corporation itself.

2. The company or corporation is listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications

3. The company's or corporation's share price is used to calculate stock market indices. Being used to calculate an index that simply comprises the entire market is excluded.

The sources cited make it look like the company might satisfy #1. However, reading the articles it becomes clear that the company is not "the subject" of any articles in notable publications. For example, in the USAToday article, the only mention of the company comes when the company's founder is cited. Apart from that, the article does not discuss Yum Domains at all. As for the other criteria, I could find no ranking produced by any publisher listing Yum Domains, nor can I find any refernce to its shares being used to calculate a major stock index (I'm not even talking about the DOW here, I'm talking about any major index). Hence, my proposal for deletion based on non-notability. -bobby 14:53, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, I don't see anything that suggests this company meets the WP:CORP guidelines.--Isotope23 17:02, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs} 23:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:CORP; sources provided are not non-trival mentions. Curious as to how they got away with naming their company so similarly to Yum Brands. ergot 17:09, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete stop atempt to create a walled garden. The subject does not pass WP:WEB, Alexa ranking below 5millionsths. Ohconfucius 01:45, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
