 * Delete. Per the discussion on the article talk page, even if their work is confidential, their success and favorable reception from their clientele should stand out notably somewhere, somehow. It does not.  Kill it. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 13:41, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. This article about a non-consumer research firm is referenced only to directories. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 13:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above; I've seen these guys in a few shopping malls but they don't appear to be the subject of any third party coverage. Possibly A7 for a non-notable company. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 13:59, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * response - Cobalt put a notability tag on 'em; no help. Prodded it, and one of the two s.p.a.s who WP:OWN this removed it; so it was taken to AfD. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  14:08, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. It was also speedied by on 08:07, March 12, 2008;but then he restored it at my request because I wasn't done trying to find resources for it.  I could not.  See History. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 14:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The article as written is an ad. The only sources provided are themselves and a couple of directories. No indication of any reliable, verifiable, or independent coverage. DarkAudit (talk) 14:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete fails a reasonable look at WP:N.Golgofrinchian (talk) 16:14, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete (unless sources found) - I tried too. We gave it an honest shot but nobody has found evidence of notability.Wikidemo (talk) 18:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep of course, since i created the article, but already one person above said they know who we are, and are in thier local shopping mall. One random guy from half a dozen replies.  That's already notable.  Spam/ad appearance has been removed, and in response to the guy saying we're a non-consumer research firm, that's blatently false, C & C is a market research field service firm, (by defination that is consumer research data collection)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.178.71.123 (talk) 22:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * See the user's comments on the article talk page.  and  are the same person; no evidence of deceptive sockpuppetry found. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 13:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Clarification: by "non-consumer" I meant, not that they don't do consumer research, but that the service is not marketed to a mass consumer base outside of the group of businesses that conduct market research. End-user consumer products and services are likelier to be notable than products and services marketed chiefly to other businesses. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:13, 14 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment one guy going "I know who they are" is not an acceptable assertion of notability. You need multiple, reliable, verifiable sources that are independent of the subject per both WP:N for notability, and WP:RS for those sources. The article does not meet those guidelines.
