The result was keep, though it badly needs referencing.--Kubigula (talk) 03:15, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This was originally a candidate for speedy deletion, PRODed by me in the alternative, and now disputed. There are presently no reliable sources offered to support this stub, calling into question whether it can meet WP:V, and whether the article is advertorial.

- Delete: Of no encyclopedic value. Also as per Xoloz. BigDunc (talk) 17:16, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep There are no sources in the article, but they seem to be a pretty major company. I found a lot of news articles on LexisNexis... boring stuff, but enough to establish notability. They are mostly from British sources, and it is a little tricky to search because the prase "dial a phone" appears often. But for example,
- Sunday Times (London); January 31, 1999, Sunday; Barclays Private Equity backs Dial-a-Phone expansion
- The Independent (London); May 28, 2004, Friday; FRIDAY LAW REPORT: APPROPRIATE TEST OF ATTRIBUTABILITY FOR VAT PURPOSES; 28 MAY 2004 DIAL-A-PHONE LTD V COMMISSIONERS OF CUSTOMS AND EXCISE
- Keep - highly notable mobile phone supplier, which a large market share. Article is more of a stub at present, and misses most of the good references from a quick Google search. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 00:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Big company that needs a reference point here, so far attempts to put information about the owner, staff levels and sales figures have been deleted quickly, all are referenced on their website. Subject of reputation needs research, but has got some groundings with a basic search. -- 12:59, 24 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.209.142.7 (talk)
