This looks like a great start in turning the article into one that asserts notability. I have some suggestions for you in order to help you build your case much stronger:

  1. Consider using the following mechanism in the article for notes/references: <!--This article uses the Cite.php citation mechanism. If you would like more information on how to add references to this article, please see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cite/Cite.php --> <div class="references-small"> <references/> </div>. You seem HTMl literate, so I suspect this will need no further explanation. If you want an example, have a look at Tide Mills, East Sussex which deploys it. You get a very neat and professional effect
  2. Where you have a number of articles from the same organ, I suggest you choose the very best of them to make your case, or perhaps a couple, and link to the articles themselves (using the scheme in (1) above
  3. Turn it form what is a PR piece into a flat, encyclopaedic piece. Ok, this is harder to do, especially if your role is marketing the firm. Put simply, make it a report on the firm's existence, but remove any praising or other emotive language.

On the basis of the work you have done, I am about to remove the banners regarding sources and notability. I think you have asserted both of these. I will look seriously at changing my expressed opinion on the AfD page on the basis that you will attend to the PR tone. Your challenge here is to leave some article while removing the trade puffery. Oh, a final thought. You probably do not know this yet, but on (eg) talk pages, but never on articles you sign your name with ~~~~, which translates to a date/timestamp and your ID Fiddle Faddle 14:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Just to say well done for attempting to improve this article. I just have one suggestion for you, which will save editing time later. Rather than using manual footnotes, you should use the system outlined at WP:FOOT. Cordless Larry 15:29, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Wow, you used the more complex system of footnotes. I never got in to those. I have made a couple of stylistic edits, and changed my opinion to "Keep". A bit of a baptism of fire, wasn't it? Don't forget ~~~~ signs your name on Deletion discussions and talk pages. We all forget sometimes Fiddle Faddle 15:05, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you both for all of your help. --64.80.209.214 13:48, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
