Notability, especially WP:ORG. Sources are one self-promoting interview and three pieces mostly on the clients, in specialist and industry not general press. Mostly unsourced, and even the sourced bits read like a press release. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 18:19, 21 October 2010 (UTC0

- Delete as spam. I've removed quite a bit of the content as it was copied from their web site. the remainder still reads like a press release. -- Whpq (talk) 19:12, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, this is the person responsible for the creation of the Holition Wiki page. My article was in no way intended to promote the business venture of Holition or its employers. Instead, it was intended to highlight the revolution which is occurring in the retail trade with the innovations that Augmented Reality can bring, which is why I cited the examples of the BMW application and the Tissot application. The section entitled ‘The Team’ was mostly taken from the company’s website as I have no knowledge of the hierarchy which exists in the business. This, I agree, has likely breached copyright laws. However, I feel the ‘lists of clients’ section which I provided was paraphrased significantly enough to give an unbiased valuation of those looking to adopt the technology in their sales campaigns. I am disappointed to read that this article may be deleted as spam as Augmented Reality could easily change the way in which we shop online. All I am doing in this article is highlighting those retail businesses that are making the leap to AR technology as a bid to increase their sales. I am more than happy to further paraphrase the article to meet wiki rules if need be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TechnoCharmer (talk • contribs) 09:28, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The client list material that I removed was at best a close paraphrase which is still not acceptable, and in many cases was word for word copying. The remaining material still reads like a press release which I suspect is due to using press release type information as a source. -- Whpq (talk) 14:08, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
