This article is about a company that lacks coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. It claims a Dell Small Business Excellence Award, but it's not that notable an award. The company has some brief mentions. See [1], and [2] for examples. But that falls far short of significant coverage about the company.
Not a reason for deletion in itself, but there is also significant conflict of interest with article being changed from a despammed version to a more promotional tone. Whpq (talk) 16:52, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, unless it can be re-written in a less promotional tone. I don't think saying that they help small businesses, "enabling them to upgrade their business, get more done and save time and money" really meets WP:NPOV. WackyWace talk to me, people 17:47, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - It was rewritten in a less promotional tone. See this version. The primary problem is ntoability which can't be fixed with a rewrite or a reversion. -- Whpq (talk) 17:49, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'm not expert in business awards, but does the fact that "in 2009, icomplete.com was named as runners up in the Dell Small Business Excellance Awards" not establish notability? Runners up they may be, but Dell is a prominent company. I suggest we simply revert the page back to the less promotional version. WackyWace talk to me, people 18:03, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply - Dell may be a prominent company, but are the awards that they sponsor significant? When I did a quick check, I didn't find a enough coverage to convince me that they were. And in any case, they didn't win. And finally, I'd be more receptive to giving the award more weight if there were some evidence that anybody actually took note of them being a runner up in the award. -- Whpq (talk) 18:13, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy Delete per WP:CSD#G11 (or WP:CSD#G7, as the author blanked the page three times but was reverted(?)). No evidence the subject meets WP:GNG, and the article was created and principally authored by the company's founder and marketing director. -- Rrburke (talk) 23:31, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per the reasons cited by Burke. The primary editor of this article is Claire Hibbert, a co-founder of the company. " The company provides innovative Web 2.0 / Cloud Computing service that brings big business tools (CRM, calendering, e-marketing and telephony) to smaller businesses," seems to stray from WP:NPOV quite a bit as well.

- Delete, I see no significant coverage in reliable sources. --Nuujinn (talk) 00:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
