Was Welcome your response? I was hoping for something a little more informative. I believe I raised a few legitimate points as to the allowance of certain companies and not others. Would you mind speaking to those a little more?

In response to my response from Guy, I understand that sallie mae is the largest in its field. I also understand your stance on advertising, but how about a listing for My Rich Uncle, which is certainly not an industry leader and on par with many other smaller student loan businesses. Think Financial is partnered with a reputible industry leader in First Marblehead and a reputable bank in Charter One. So I suppose what I am trying to figure out, is at what point do you consider any lender worthy of being listed on Wikipedia and what could i change about the text to somehow make you consider it legitimate information as you do for other lenders instead of believing it to be purely advertising? Thanks for your help. Welcome!

Think Financial was tagged for deletion as spam. Althoguh we don't normally speedily delete spam (we think about it for a while and then delete it) that process can be brusing and I think it will be less hurtful to simply remove it and come here and let you know the problem.

First, we have a guideline which says that creating articles about your own endeavours is a really bad idea, because it's so hard ot be objective.

Second, you compare the company to Sallie Mae - well, we get that argument a lot. "If Joe Schmoe, mayor of Mudhole Flats Idaho, gets deleted then you must delete George Bush as well". SLM Corporation is the largest in its field, you provided no evidence that Think even meets our guidelines on company articles let alone being somewhere close to that level of significance.

Third, we really hate advertising. Anything that looks like advertising is in for a rough ride.

I hope this helps to understand how things work around here, Guy 16:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
