notability not established. 2 "news" citations = no mention of company in site. Confusing how the salesforce.com thing links in when that page has no mention is this. &eta;oian  &Dagger;orever &eta;ew &Dagger;rontiers  05:52, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. Totally non-notable, borderline spam. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:55, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

@Noian @Realkyhick How do I establish notability better? Please email or direct message me (e-mail address removed by Deor (talk) 14:31, 16 December 2008 (UTC) ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malouie (talk • contribs) 06:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Removed the news links and removed the Salesforce.com reference. Anything else, guys? Appreciate your help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malouie (talk • contribs) 06:21, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

The article is a fair portrait of a new start-up. As the company evolves, this article serves as an ongoing chronicle which will benefit the community in giving insights and reflective looks about a start-up 10 years after the initial ".com" boom and burst.Duchaba 01:05, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete--I can't find any references that would establish notability for this subject. As it is, it's advertising thinly disguised as a factual description of what the company does. Drmies (talk) 06:25, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Speedy. Advertising. No news hits, no mentions elsewhere, no nothing. Definitely fails WP:CORP.  Graymornings (talk) 08:44, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Looks like Duchaba deleted the comments of two editors. Diff here. I've restored them.  Graymornings (talk) 08:51, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks Graymornings. Drmies (talk) 16:04, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

 * A. That's no reason for you to delete my remarks (just like I won't delete yours); B. Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages or an ongoing chronicle--Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and encyclopedias have articles on things that are proven to be notable. "Fair" is not to be determined by the subject of the article (there's the objectivity issue...) Drmies (talk) 16:04, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not the place to chronicle the history of a company. Would suggest storing this information on an Intranet or other internal records.  If at some point this company becomes notable some of that information may have a place in an article here.  Raitchison (talk) 16:58, 16 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. No evidence of notability. I'll contact the creator on his talk page to explain WP:N. --Dweller (talk) 15:20, 16 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Bot even the assertion of notability, looks like spam to me. Raitchison (talk) 16:50, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete- per the snowball factor. --Jmundo (talk) 17:22, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete (G11) — blatant advertisement (here in Wikipedia, the term we use for this is spam). On top of the need to establish notability as mentioned above, this article needs a fundamental rewrite to become encyclopedic in tone. MuZemike  ( talk ) 18:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
