Carlyle Research

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I don't believe this page to be notable per WP:ORG. A google search returned only the company's website, and a google news search returned nothing. Another editor tagged the article for speedy deletion just after creation which was removed based on the unsourced line Carlyle Research is one of the leading executive search organisations. A prod tag was then placed on the article. I took WP:BITE to heart and decided that the original author really did not know what was going on (based on conversation on my talk page). I decided to move this here, for his sake. Ndenison talk  04:20, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:54, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - easy enough to dig up sources that establish notability. From Google news, this publication works to establish notability, as does this news report.  Wily D  14:42, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The first link is to a company financial report. The second is to an advertisement in a newsletter.  Neither are valid proofs of notability.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:50, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think that could be considered significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources.   Ndenison  talk  15:53, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually in their supplier directory http://www.thegrapevinemagazine.com/search.php most of the articles their likely to have been in are specialised and considered notable. Their Editorial content in that article was below their advertisement.82.24.116.208 (talk) 20:12, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not entirely sure what that means -- The Grapevine is clearly some sort of magazine related to the executive search industry, and the listing of Carlyle Research in that directory is hardly notable -- any company supplying information to the magazine in the form of editorial content or advertising can get listed on that directory.

 * The "editorial content" at is clearly labeled as an "advertorial".  I.e. an advertisement posing in the guise of actual editorial content.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:45, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - barely even an assertion of Notability but just enough to have escaped speedy. None of the sources suggested offer reliable, substantial coverage. Springnuts (talk) 23:08, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
