Non-notable business, references provided do not satisfy WP:RS. &lt;&gt;Multi-Xfer&lt;&gt; (talk) 06:55, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - advertisement. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 07:10, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - They make a difference in my community, if you're not from Northern Virginia, you could care less, but some of us are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anetineer (talk • contribs) 13:47, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Whether they make a difference in your community or not isn't material. As I said above, the references do not satisfy WP:RS. Did you read that policy? Customer ratings sites are not reliable sources. The Chamber of Commerce site just has an address listing (what does that prove?). The newsletter just, again, lists the name of the company, a location, and say absolutely nothing about it, same with the Economic Development Authority site. The Fantastic 50 winners site could, with a great deal of creative interpretation, be used to satisfy "verifiability", but it does not establish notability. We need reliable sources, as specified under WP:RS. Otherwise the article will be deleted. Also, you uploaded a corporate logo to Commons under a free license... that's copyright infringement. The company owns the copyright on the logo, not you. I see this every day. &lt;&gt;Multi-Xfer&lt;&gt; (talk) 16:54, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Alright, this was my first editorial, so please take it easy on me. I am open to suggestions and willing to listen, so long as the other party is open minded.

Fact:

CedarPC managed to develop a Multi-Million dollar corporation in the worst recession in what some would say since the great depression; creating new jobs, all while helping young people through apprenticeship and training programs.

Opinion:

Why don't you develop a multi-million dollar corporation and win #11 out 50 of the fastest growing companies during this economic crisis, since you see this "every day".

Copyright:

I asked management at CedarPC for permission to use their logo and trademark for Wikipedia through their "Contact Management", they agreed, and are going to get their corporate attorney to draft a written authorization. If I had put the wrong terms of usage, that can be fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anetineer (talk • contribs) 04:31, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Only freely licensed images can be uploaded to Commons. No sane corporation would release their corporate logo under a free license as it would allow other people to use it commercially for themselves. Logos are always fair use. Your defensive stance above makes me think you're an employee (or the owner) of the company. Please read WP:COI. &lt;&gt;Multi-Xfer&lt;&gt; (talk) 21:58, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete A electronics discounter employing 10 people? The refs are straight PR, including the one for the   Virginia Chamber of Commerce award -- the citation for which is written in the 1st person! Suggest speedy delete as G11 promotional.    DGG ( talk ) 05:19, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - I had to write a project about companies in my local area that were successful and produce high levels of growth during the recession, and their market focus, the article helped with my research. Thanks OP  (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 04:01, 29 August 2009 (UTC).
 * The previous account has contributed to nothing except this discussion. Votestacking attempt is likely. &lt;&gt;Multi-Xfer&lt;&gt; (talk) 00:38, 31 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep They are medium size by revenue (although not by employees) and their business model is different from other electronic discounters. Mir (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:13, 2 September 2009 (UTC).
 * This doesn't indicate why the company is notable. &lt;&gt;Multi-Xfer&lt;&gt; (talk) 21:14, 2 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per DGG. I have searched through the Google results and Google News Archive and have been unable to find any coverage in multiple reliable sources. The "keep" votes fail to explain why this company is notable. Notability is defined by how much coverage this company has received. It is not defined by needing to use the article for a project (WP:USEFUL) or by the revenue (WP:BIGNUMBER). Cunard (talk) 23:20, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
