Blake venture corp

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

While the founder's efforts are laudable, the company itself is not notable and smacks of self-promotion. One reliable source cited, others are own web sites or news releases. Realkyhick 18:08, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Reluctant, but firm delete 51 Yahoo hits and 95 Google hits.  There are reliable sources, but most of them talk about awards he's won.  Sorry, no dice.  Blueboy96 18:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Question Is there any agreement as to whether or not the person behind the company merits an article?  Adam Blake as a person might be different from this company, which would be a section of that article.  FrozenPurpleCube 19:46, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Response: I could see that Blake himself might qualify as notable, but it is borderline at best. Realkyhick 21:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete {e/c) The sources listed to demonstrate notability have to do with the founder, not the company itself. The description/history of the company would indicate that its impact is very small; it's simply an impressive feat that such a young entrepreneur got it off the ground.Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 19:52, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete firm is not notable, and the founder would be very borderline, but still non-notable in my opinion. He is a solid young businessman, but little more.  with 38 properties, he has a while before he catches CB Richard Ellis.Montco 23:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
