24/7 Customer

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article (originally created at 247 Customer) has been re-created 8 times. It was deleted 5 times on October 13, 2006 as a copyright violation, and repost, deleted January 26, 2007, and June 19, 2007 (G11). I have redirected the page to the company's actual title, (24/7 Customer), and I have removed the sections that I could identify as blatant copy/paste of information from the company's website, http://www.247customer.com/ but the company still does not appear to satisfy WP:CORP, and I think perhaps a formal discussion and decision should be done, and if a delete consensus reached, a salting of these two pages may be in order.

 * Weak Keep, they actually have a surprising amount of independent coverage. I just cherry picked from a few of the notable publications I'm familiar with which seem to have a 'more than passing' mention of the firm and have cleaned up the article a little more.  There are many, many Indian publications which have more in-depth coverage, but I'm afraid I can't tell which are reliable sources and which are self-published.  I ignored the WSJ article - it seems to be part of a "WSJ blog", and I'm not sure how much editorial control is in place for that.  Concur with the salting if the article is ultimately deleted; at least they've improved their adcopy since the first version in 2006 (yikes!).  Kuru  talk  17:30, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Doesn't seem to be notable, and we have an ongoing COI issue with the editors that isn't about to get better Mayalld (talk) 08:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, The Evil Spartan 07:51, 1 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep and deal forcefully with improper COI edits. It doesn't make our job any easier but they do seem fairly notable and successful in the outsourcing/offshoring world (and that's a real WSJ article, not a blog post). --Dhartung | Talk 08:18, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing WP:CORP - even if it is mentioned once in WSJ, as it's not notable. The services it provides may be useful and notable, but notability is not inherited. Bearian (talk) 20:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep given the sources highlighted by DHartung and Kuru. Capitalistroadster (talk) 20:22, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
