Crakmedia

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non notable organization that fails to satisfy WP:NCORP. They lack in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them. The awards they claim to have one are all non notable and the ref bombing is a mirage to create he illusion of notability. A WP:BEFORE search shows hits in unreliable sources such as this & this.

 * Weak keep but TNT. They are web specialists, so they know how to generate paid/sponsored coverage, which is what has happened with several of the sources. However there is also decent French coverage that appears genuine:
 * "Crakmedia craint les impacts de la pénurie de main-d’œuvre",
 * "Crakmedia offre un voyage au Mexique à ses 100 employés",
 * "Pokemon Go : Beenox 1 - Crakmedia 0",
 * "Leaders 2015: Crakmedia",
 * "Le secret des employés heureux",
 * Crakmedia veut recruter les «trumpophobes»,
 * "Mercuriades: Crakmedia, PME de l’année",
 * Crakmedia choisie PME de l’année.
 * "PME de l’année" = "Small or medium-sized business of the year" Together, I think that is probably enough for NCORP.--- Possibly (talk) 20:38, 29 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete undisclosed padi-for spam with no evidence of notability. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 07:24, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * what about all the sources I listed above? Also, the creator seems to be good faith, and they have said on their talk page that that have no COI. --- Possibly (talk) 19:15, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * None of these sources are sufficient to satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH, they read like paid pr and are mostly announcements. Also, please see my comment below regarding their paid editing racket. Thank you, GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 08:04, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Are you able to read French?--- Possibly (talk) 12:25, 2 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep The subject passes the notability and has been beautifully presented by Possibly. As far as spamming is concerned, there is nothing like spamming, every company lists their history, revenue, accomplishments etc. By this logic, every page on Wikipedia is spam. Should we delete all those pages? Regarding the links, the more the length of the content, the more there will be references. If anyone has objection on the number of links, I am willing to remove some of them. But I have provided the references to make the page more reliable.   BelardEME (talk) 19:12, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * we decide what to delete based on the number and quality of published sources. See WP:NCORP. --- Possibly (talk) 19:17, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Blocked for WP:UPE. MER-C 14:44, 2 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Comment: Please note, as per off-wiki evidence user BelardEME was hired to create this page through Freelancer.com and were paid $450 by David Hamel. Also, as per their profile, they are a sock of and I have shared the details with paid-en, . @Berean Hunter Please see my last email that I sent you back in December 2018 regarding the same freelancer.

 * Delete - undisclosed paid-for spam. MER-C 15:54, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. TNT is needed here, and it would have been eligible for G11 anyway. MarioGom (talk) 16:25, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP.  HighKing++ 20:51, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - agree with MarioGom that WP:TNT is called for. It may be that the subject is weakly notable, in which case the article will eventually be recreated, but as it is the page is promotional in nature and not up to Wikipedia's standards in any way.
