All the references are either own web-site, directory listings or advertisements. Nothing here is a reliable independent source demonstrating notability. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 22:08, 17 June 2016 (UTC)


 * There are no advertisements in the references. There are some references to the homepage, but also to some entirely independent pages, such as the article from the "San Diego Business Journal," another article from the "Phoenix Business Journal" or the the FMCSA company detail page. This article's subject does meet the requirements for notability.  Check reference #s  1, 11, 19 and 32 if you'd like to see for yourself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ogbrewer (talk • contribs) 22:18, Ogbrewer (talk) 22:57, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete, overtly promotional article of at best dubious notability. Even if usable sources were to be presented - the closest the current article comes is this, which has all the hallmarks of a barely-edited press release reprint, and the bare handful of sources I could find are all of similar or worse quality (typical example)- the article should deleted and rewritten from those.  And if the 9! nearly-identical copies of this fatuously cited as references don't qualify as advertisements, I can't imagine what does. —Cryptic 23:02, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per Cryptic.142.105.159.60 (talk) 23:11, 17 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Do not delete, No advertisements are in the references. In case you don't know, an advertisement is an announcement, message, or listing that is paid for.  None of the references were paid for.  Those 9 copies are the directory pages for the different branches.  If you read the article you will see that the company has nine branches.  They are nearly identical because they are reference pages for each branch of the same company.  Also, the article you refer to as a having "all the hallmarks of a barely-edited press release reprint" is an article from the Phoenix Business Journal.  If you would like to contest their legitimacy, take it up with them.  Ace is a multimillion dollar company with 9 branches nationwide and meets the requirements for being considered notable.Ogbrewer (talk) 23:39, 17 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete WP is not a business directory. I see nothing notable here.  The company exists, as do tens or hundreds of thousands of others.  Significant independent coverage is required but not found here. MB (talk) 00:47, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Just because the author has a different concept of an advertisement than Wikipedia does doesn't make this article notable. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:06, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not meet WP:CORP which requires multiple instances of "deep coverage" in notable independent sources. Is there even one in-depth article on this entity in the San Diego Union-Tribune even (let alone a the LA Times or whatever)? Can't find one. As to the subject of promotion... it seems that the only editor likely to be involved in maintaining this article is Ogbrewer, and so I'd like to ask a question of Ogbrewer: if a scandal involving this organization were to make the papers, would you be eager to rush over here and add it to the article? I didn't think so. It's never going to offer balanced reporting. Delete. Herostratus (talk) 03:39, 18 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Strong delete Fails WP:CORP and very WP:SPAMmy. ukexpat (talk) 14:52, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
