Comparison of demand-generation software

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page, together with Comparison of marketing workflow automation software which I am also nominating for deletion, is subtly but effectively promoting a commercial firm, Act-On Software. The editing pattern, with numerous SPAs, indicates that this page has been a commercial tool since its creation. I cannot see the value of a comparison page for this sort of service anyway as it needs to be updated all the time. In any event we cannot ever be sure of its neutrality. asnac (talk) 16:46, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The issues raised by the nominator are legitimate and raise concern. In addition, all of the references in the article are to the websites of companies providing this type of software. The topic isn't considered notable unless it has received significant coverage from independent, reliable sources. None of these sources are independent, and unless independent sources making such comparisons are provided, the article should be deleted.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  05:54, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
