Econsultancy

Company does not appear to be notable. Article is advertising. Large following on Twitter but I don't think that is enough. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:49, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable, although in a few years' growth it may rise to notability. -WikiSkeptic (talk) 03:48, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. I'm a little skeptical of the sources on the article. Three of them were links to the company's twitter, facebook, and web page. The web page entry went directly to a "sign up with our service now" link. The award sounds promising, but the link stating the award appears to be a press release, if I'm not mistaken. I'm also a little concerned with the reliablility of the various links. This link  goes to a site that specializes in online PR, so I don't really see where it's a reliable source. I've got a funny feeling that the story was specially written by this site by the request of Econsultancy. That the article doesn't even bother capitalizing the company's name correctly doesn't exactly scream reliability to me. The other links are either brief mentions and/or to sites that are of dubious reliability. I'm going to do a search, but this just doesn't exactly sound like a notable company.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:49, 7 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79
 * Weak delete. I'm seeing a lot of brief mentions, but not anything truly in depth. Most of the news hits come up with the website's own blog and many of the citations for the company are either press releases or from sites that I'm not sure how reliable they are. Despite my earlier misgivings, I can see this potentially becoming notable in a few years but it just isn't notable enough in the here and now. If anyone can show how the award won is notable, I'm willing to change my mind, though.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:58, 7 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79
 * Delete. Another company providing training, reports, research, case studies, buyers guides and advice for the digital marketing sector advertising on Wikipedia.  Minor trade awards do not make a case for notability]]. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 20:07, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
