*Speedy Delete Seems to be a candidate for A7 speedy to me. Completely non-notable company, bordering on spam. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 20:25, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Make article that contains no hits on Google News.
 * 2) Write like an advertisement and stick a unreviewed template on the back of it.
 * 3) ????
 * 4) PROFIT!!!  &rArr;  Pickboth manlol   17:33, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

*Speedy Delete - spam. Cocytus  [»talk«]  20:35, 25 November 2009 (UTC) Striking per new information and some apparent improvements. Cocytus  [»talk«]  23:27, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Nominated as A7 speedy. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 20:42, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and improve - I've removed the good-faith speedy, as I believe the article clearly asserts notability. I'm also seeing significant hits on this group from Google News archive, including an endorsement from the President of Ireland.  I'll try to get to work on improving this with references tonight.

 * Comment: If this article was mainly about Clann Credo then you might would have saved this article. &rArr;  Pickboth manlol   22:15, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * This article is mainly about Clann Credo. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 22:24, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * And there's another good idea: rename it to Clann Credo. MuffledThud (talk) 23:03, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong keep and rename - I've cleaned the article up, re-worded it to remove advertising tone and added detail demonstrating notability, with references from reliable sources. In its present state, it's worth keeping and further improving. MuffledThud (talk) 11:16, 26 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - This is definitely not A7 or G11, it is a seemingly notable article jsut created by a new user who has yet to familiarize themselves with Wikipedia policy and article structure. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 22:05, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This article has been nominated for rescue. MuffledThud (talk) 07:49, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per Marcus and Muffledthud. It should be noted that the XfD activities of the nominator are currently the subject of discussion at WP:ANI. Crafty (talk) 08:23, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Note also that the AFD nominator actually tried to remove the article rescue tag in this edit (note the helpful edit summary). This, along with odd AFD activities noted by Craftyminion at WP:ANI, plus the unusual incivility of this AFD nomination, cast doubt on whether this was a good-faith AFD nomination. MuffledThud (talk) 10:32, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Even more worrying is that two editors weighed in with "speedy delete" comments with obviously no effort to check for themselves whether the subject is notable. In the past I wouldn't have been so worried about that, because the closing admin would have discounted such comments, but I have noticed in the last couple of months that a few of the admins who have been the most prolific AfD closers have been basing decisions on vote-counts rather than arguments, so these unsubstantiated opinions are dangerous. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:14, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Note that the nominator has now been blocked indefinitely for joke AFDs and other unpleasantness. MuffledThud (talk) 22:51, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * And, I goofed. Marcusmax is right, and I was wrong.  My apologies. Keep and hit me with a WP:TROUT  Bradjamesbrown (talk) 08:59, 28 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - improved article seems to meet standards, there are other news sources in Portuguese and Italian which could be useful (my knowledge of these languages is sketchy at best). pablo hablo. 13:48, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The nominator has been permanently blocked for disruptive editing, and there have been references found.  D r e a m Focus  11:46, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
