8x8

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

has made a rather vague AfD after complaining in IRC about a lack of sources. Recommending a procedural close if they do not post on this page within 24 hours. Primefac (talk) 15:37, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - See previous PROD contested less that a month ago: PRODded by 118.1.188.70 with the summary "Non-notable company, most references are press releases", contested by Liberalartist with the summary "Seems likely that significant coverage in reliable secondary sources exists". --TL22 (talk) 15:40, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * And looking at the nominator's rationale for deletion, I vote Speedy Keep. The fact that the article is "paid" doesn't mean it should be deleted. Rather, the conflict of interest noticeboard should be consulted instead. --TL2</b><b style= "color:#FFA700">2</b> (<i style= "color:green">talk</i>) 15:59, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I dont agree. Nothing should be paid its against the Wikipedia policy. I vote Speedy delete. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Liberalarmb (talk • contribs) 19:27, 19 September 2015
 * Which Wikipedia policy prohibits paid editing?— ☮ JAaron95  <sup style="color:Green;font-family:Times;">Talk   19:36, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * No policy prohibits paid editing, it only says it should be done with caution. If by "Wikipedia policy" you mean No paid advocacy, that is a failed proposal. Proposals are not policies. --<b style= "color:red">T</b><b style= "color:#FF4200">L</b><b style= "color:#FF7400">2</b><b style= "color:#FFA700">2</b> (<i style= "color:green">talk</i>) 19:39, 19 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Strong keep. The article is not overtly promotional in tone, and it contains independent, reliable sources. A better outcome for this article is continued development and strengthening of sources. —C.Fred (talk) 20:27, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: Article could use work but subject is notable. Lead paragraph used to be a lot worse ... Also very likely redlinked contributors have some connection to the organization (some quite overtly so. see: User talk:8x8pr). They aren't doing too much damage these days however. As for paid contributors, if they are then should disclose but prohibition is largely a conflation of mis-info and opinion propagated by Jimbo. Here's an item that popped up on en.planet.wikimedia.org the other day which speaks to some of that and may be of interest; but I digress. -- dsprc   [talk]  21:16, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
