B38 Group

 * – ( View AfD View log )

£4.5 million annual turnover is a very small company in terms of notability. It reads more like an advert and there is clear COI evidence based on the single contributor's user ID. Simple Boba.k.a. The Spaminator (Talk) 18:22, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
 * COMMENT - excuse my minor mistake in the nomination. The infobox states that the company has assets of £4.5 million not turnover of £4.5 million. That figure for assests is not cited, and the company has yet to file any annual accounts as it is just a few months old. In my opinion this reinforces my assertion that the company is not notable and should be deleted. --Simple Boba.k.a. The Spaminator (Talk) 13:51, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Delete as non-notable. A google search for "B38 group" gets only 18 hits, 2 of which are the company website, and this article, and most seem to be false position. Non are reliable, independent sources. The article claims they have won an award, but the link in the article doesn't work, and if the award was a significant one, I assume it would have attracted some press coverage of some sort. Incidentally, one of the hits is to a whois search, with Richard Phillips as Registrant, further confirming the COI. Silverfish (talk) 21:09, 24 March 2011 (UTC) Keep: The term strategic land refers to a property developers term of buying land with no planning permission with the intend to dispose of it with planning permission. Not as Ihcoyc mentions - building fortresses, missile silos and secret lairs. A simple google search can verify this. Link to the articles will now be updated - thank you for bringing it to attention. £4.5 million does NOT refer to annual turnover and nor was that written. £4.5m refer to assets which it clearly states. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RichardPhillipsb38 (talk • contribs) 10:50, 26 March 2011 (UTC) Keep: I have now changed much of the content - please review and give me some feedback — Preceding unsigned comment added by RichardPhillipsb38 (talk • contribs) 11:34, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination; a property company, specialising in architectural property development, investment and strategic land. Strategic land?  I will be sure to keep them in mind the next time I want to build a fortress, missile silo, or secret lair to take over the world. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:30, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Feedback? Sure. None of the references that you gave actually mentioned B38 as a company. I fail to see how a company that claims to have assets of £4.5 million, without that figure being referenced, and having been formed for less than a year with no accounts filed at companies house, can be considered as notable. --Simple Boba.k.a.

 * Strong delete - microscopic firm with no hint of public interest or attention; totally fails all our standards of corporate notability. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:51, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
