We successfully speedy deleted this piece of industrial waste that had been dumped into Wikipedia and subsequently groomed by company minions. This media organization is not notable per WP:NCORP and we are not here to be anybody's free advertising. Delete and salt and let's all go do something wholesome.

- @ Thurles2: I have no reason to not believe what you posted above, but what you need to understand is that none of that is really relevant to whether this article is ultimately kept or deleted. What matters is whether it can be demonstrated that the company satisfies Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) or Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. It's the Wikipedia notability of the company itself which is going to be discussed in this AfD, and this notability really has nothing to do with who founded the company or who works (or once worked) for the company. Also, since you seem fairly new to Wikipedia editing, I suggest you take a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#Contributing to AfD discussions and Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions to better familiarize yourself with how these discussions tend to work. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 07:18, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
