Ecompetitors

Fails WP:CORP. I searched and found no coverage in secondary sources. No usable or meaningful third-party sources found at all, in fact. The "formal presentation" appears to be a sales pitch at a conference. Flopsy Mopsy and Cottonmouth (talk) 03:29, 29 December 2008 (UTC) I didn't research, but my hunch is that this is the case.

 * Weak Delete. This article could be saved with a rewrite, but I still don't see any independent sources about it. The article right now is written like it was copied from another website.

The Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals annual international conference is specifically NOT designed as a platform to sell or promote specific products or services. The SCIP09 committee selected the “Global Competitive Intelligence, On Demand,” proposal because they believe it will "contribute" to the non-profit organization's purpose in the field of competitive intelligence. This is an independent global source.Porterfan1 (talk) 15:17, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete It may possibly be notable after it is presented, and is reviewed--but an article 4 months ahead would require some really extraordinary source that it was already notable. No prejudice to reinserting after there are 3rd party independent reliable published references to it. DGG (talk) 21:05, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as nominator. Flopsy Mopsy and Cottonmouth (talk) 09:11, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom. see also Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam/2008_Archive_Dec_1. Article was created by an WP:SPA account with no other edits other than related to ECOMPETITORS. Obviously a part of a "team" Whom seeks to exploit Wikipedia for the purpose of promotion and advertising. Self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopaedia article.--Hu12 (talk) 18:29, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
