 * Delete, in its current incarnation, this is spam. Corvus cornix  talk  21:47, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as spam. I'm inclined to say salt as well, but I'll leave that open to discussion. -- Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 00:16, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - not entirely spam, this could possibly be stubified and fixed. removed. Bearian (talk) 00:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt. No business notability shown. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think WP:SALT is entirely necessary at this point. If it gets recreated, that's a maybe. -- Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 18:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep for 2 weeks, then review to AfD - The article currently notes a 3rd party reference (USNewswire). Google "CDS International" "student exchange" -wiki -cdsintl yields 350+ matches, there is an abundance to draw from. I believe there is proof of notability and international recognition. Let’s not bite this newcomer too hard, an experienced editor could rewrite and reorganize. This article has a chance. GaryECampbell (talk) 19:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Coment: I get 104 hits, none of which seems to be a reliable source, but I'm curious as to why you chose -wiki instead of -wikipedia. And by the way, the article has been here since June 16, that's more than 2 weeks. Corvus cornix  talk
 * :: Comment to corvus: ensure you are using google.com to not limit to Canada etc. -wiki filters out anything that starts with wiki, whereas -wikipedia will return content from emowiki, aboutwiki, etc. Add additional filters as required to filter out common unrelated results. 2 weeks can be tough, summer holidays, learning curve, etc..
