The references are all to "fastest growing" and the like. For a company with only 30 employees, I interpret that as "not yet notable".  DGG ( talk ) 14:13, 6 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - Are there any Arabic-language references for this? Is there an article on the Arabic Wikipedia? I don't speak Arabic, otherwise, I'd look.Roodog2k (talk) 14:48, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Dear DGG, Akhtaboot is a recruitment website and the growth of a the website itself is usually measured by the number of registered users as well as the traffic and average page views per visitor. For a web-based venture, the number of employees is not the main measure of growth. Most top online networks and social media portals started with a relatively small number of employees. Akhtaboot employees are increasing reaching 50. Regarding using the term "fastest growing", kindly note that this title has been given to Akhtaboot by ALL World Network which systematically identifies private growth companies and ranks the fastest growing for the Arabia 500, Africa 500, Asia 500, Eurasia 500, and Latin America 500 (please check the following link: http://www.allworldlive.com/about/overview). Deirdre M. Coyle, Jr. co-founded AllWorld Network in 2007 to find and advance ALL the growth entrepreneurs of the emerging world by 2015. For ten years Deirdre was the SVP and Director of Marketing and Communications for the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC), a national non-profit founded by Harvard Business School Professor Michael E. Porter to expand the job and business base of distressed urban areas. Professor Porter is AllWorld’s Chairman of the Advisory Board (http://www.allworldlive.com/experts/deirdre-m-coyle-jr). Please check Akhtaboot's name in the following list: http://www.allworldlive.com/feed/press/levant-winners-arabia-fast-growth-500-jordan-leading-hub-entrepreneurs It's the first start up mentioned after company number 14. Note that the article on Wikipedia only mentions that it's one of the fastest growing websites in the awards section which is absolutely true as Akhtaboot has won this award. Also note that Akhtaboot has a good relationship with Google as well as Facebook, Google has wrote about Akhtaboot and its growth as well: akhtaboot.html --Article123456 (talk) 08:05, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment In the spirit of WP:BITE and WP:AGF, I should point out to the two editors what meatpuppetry is --> WP:MEAT, although you did due diligence and provided sources for the community to determine notability of this article. Although, due to WP:MEAT, your comments from those two accounts may be given less merit by the community at large.Roodog2k (talk) 13:17, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Arabic references are fine. We prefer English ones, since the English Wikipedia is intended for people who can read English, but if the Arabic references show notability better than the English ones, by all means add them & provide a translation of the key sentence or two. However, if they just duplicate the English references, there is no reason to add them.  DGG ( talk ) 17:52, 7 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Regardless of whether HZH2 is a new comer or not. The points being discussed are valid. With regards to the Arabic references, they are duplicate of the English ones (an exact translation) so there is no reason to add them. When talking about "Fast growing", it is only mentioned in one section which is awards, and references had been provided linking to the organisation that awarded Akhtaboot. Please let me know if more references are needed, I think the ones provided are enough though.--Article123456 (talk) 11:51, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * More references have been added including partnerships with companies and universities in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.--Article123456 (talk) 13:19, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
