Nonnotable article created with a conflict of interest (see the conflict of interest report for details. As it stands the only assertion of notability is the fact that the company recieved $6 million from Disney, although the reception of this money (not an overly large amount in the corporate world, especially to Disney). Very little is mentioned on Google News and most of it is pressy statements regarding their business partners. Themfromspace (talk) 22:49, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I added some references. The article seems reasonably NPOV, so I'm not worried about its COI origins. -- Eastmain (talk) 00:16, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The article still has notability issues. The Yesmail reference does not establish notability via WP:ORG which states that notability is achieved with "significant coverage" in secondary sources. Furthermore, there is little to no discussion of the corporation itself (not its actions) in secondary sources as that is incidential coverage which per WP:ORG isn't enough to establish notability.

• Delete: a non-notable, non-consumer tech business. The only claim of notability is that they received some venture capital from an investment subsidiary of the Disney Corporation that doesn't have its own article. This is not enough to bootstrap notability for this business. Their other claim to notability is that they signed a deal to deliver email from a convicted spammer, which suggests the motive for their wanting a Wikipedia article. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:06, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
