 * Weak Delete it does look a lot like spam for a company/website/whatever which doesn't have significant coverage in reliable 3rd party sources. It fails WP:CORP and WP:WEB. I should point out though that the nom's COI thing seems to be at the article talkpage and not his usertalk. Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:25, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I find the incredible number of fact tags on that page humorous. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 09:37, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep contingent on sourcing If any of those awards can be sourced (considering they're tagged with fact they're questionable). It seems pretty likely they're notable, but just lacking sourcing. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 06:00, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I suspect those awards are real, but when I thought about it, they don't in themselves amount to noteability, the awards (the overall awards ceremony etc) may not even be noteable. In fact I just awarded you the "Most Splendid Chap" award in my "Jason fancies a good meal" awards ceremony. Jasonfward (talk) 08:17, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment They may not be significant, but I think we need to find that out first. Also, thanks for the award. :-D &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 06:18, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Jasynnash2, I should have said on my user page where I declare who my employers is, but yes I also mention it in the articles talk page Jasonfward (talk) 12:49, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. At least you declare it which is more than some people do on here. I just didn't want people jumping to the wrong conclusion if they went to your talkpage and didn't see what they may "expect to see".Jasynnash2 (talk) 13:13, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

*Delete artist and albums (which I've tagged). Fails WP:MUSIC. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 15:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Whoops, how did that end up on the wrong afd? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 17:15, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You were obviously in the wrong queue...it happens to the best of us. And while I am here: Delete -- as per Jasynnash2's cogent comments. Ecoleetage (talk) 01:47, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. Tidied up the article and found a few more references, most significantly a reasonably lengthy Financial Times profile of the company and its founder. It just about satisifes WP:N now in my book. Gr1st (talk) 12:09, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Stifle (talk) 10:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep The sourcing that has been added to the article establishes notability via significant coverage in reliable sources. Davewild (talk) 08:15, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
