Copperwing

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non notable company, PROD removed by author, article has only local references, fails WP:CORP which states - 'Evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability.' Paste  Let’s have a chat. 15:35, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Copperwing has articles of regional and national notoriety; allow me to clean up the article and make a better case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Constsm (talk • contribs) 15:50, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, only local notability, doesn't meet WP:CORP. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:07, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, fits the profile: a firm offering design, integrated brand management and creative consultancy. References shown are to minor trade awards and coverage in central Alabama local business papers. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:23, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

User:Constsm Team - The above statement was taken out of the article. It was used more to illustrate what the company is about and how it operates and was not meant to be spam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.243.70.250 (talk) 18:58, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, average company not notable outside of local press (and hardly notable there), and not remarkable for anything other than having won insignificant local business awards. (Well, maybe they're significant locally, but not in terms of an encyclopedia of global scope.)  See Why doesn't Wikipedia have an article on my organization?

 * Delete - Fails WP:CORP. 18 Google news hits, but few, if any, are about this Copperwing.  Seems like a another marketing firm doing some of their own marketing on Wikipedia.  At least in this case, however, it's not as spammy as most.   Cocytus   [»talk«]  03:28, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Correct - the point is not to market or promote the company, but to give information about an organization set within the context of its industry. Wikipedia seemed like the logical choice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.243.70.250 (talk) 14:35, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
