I'm not sure that this company meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. I am sure that this is written as an advertisement. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 10:39, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Existing sources in the article and pretty much every source I can find via GNews are press releases. There are a few very brief mentions in reliable sources but the only significant coverage I can find are all press releases. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 12:58, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy delete and salt. The current text is unambiguous advertising from top to bottom:
- a technology provider, which provides publishers, ad networks, agencies and advertisers with an integrated display, video, rich-media and mobile ad serving solution.
- Tens of billions of display ads are served every month in over 1,600 websites...
- ...created in 2001 by a major Web publisher, au Feminin, to fulfill its advanced requirements for managing its ad spaces as well as its communication campaigns. Since there were no existing tools that met their needs, the decision was made to develop an internal solution capitalizing on the latest technologies and the most advanced marketing concepts.
- ...quickly become a key player in ad serving in Europe, by offering innovative features and formats as well as a tailor-made local service.
- ...ad networks and publishers can optimise the impact of their online advertising campaigns and so improve their effectiveness.
- When it's pure promotional twaddle like this is, notability is a non-issue; but the article references only press releases and I see nothing better. Yet another online advertising company advertising on Wikipedia. Note also that this has been speedily deleted once already, and deleted by proposed deletion again. So tagging. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:47, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I declined the speedy, because it is a major product from a major company, , and the articles can easily be written using normal editing to be less promotional. I started with the history section, and will try to continue. DGG ( talk ) 05:45, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Please note, I expressed concern extending beyond the promotional tone in my delete !vote (as did the nominator). I am unable to find any sources for this supposedly "major product from a major company" that aren't press releases -- there certainly aren't any in the article at the moment. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 13:22, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Nor does being a "major product from a major company" really establish that this product has encyclopedic notability; nothing says that it made history in any way that establishes long term interest of the kind that would make it an encyclopedia subject. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 22:05, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete blatant WP:ADVERT. DGG as an admin you should know that "major product from a major company" is not a criterion for notability. LibStar (talk) 03:10, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- keep surely the page is a long term project. it could be rewriten but it may take a while — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.250.145 (talk) 14:17, 29 May 2011 (UTC) — 86.173.250.145 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- Question. You forgot to point out what reliable, independent sources are available to use for information as we rewrite this. If you've found such sources, you'll have saved the article from deletion. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 18:24, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete G11 and started off that way. Can't believe this kind of stuff is lying around after almost two years. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 19:40, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete or, to be kinder, incubate into au Feminin. Currently it's just spam, but a short mention and citations on a main article would improve The Project. Bearian (talk) 21:13, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
