This article should be deleted because:

1. It lacks notability, see Notability.

2. The article was started by someone close to the business, which violates Conflict of interest. BrainyBabe (talk) 04:43, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - ELOCD started to operate on 12th June 2008 and it's already made its way onto Wikipedia. It seems to be an up and comming business on the move. GregManninLB (talk) 06:56, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment The editor who started the article, User:Triesz, appears to be the person who started the ELOCD itself, as explained here. It makes good sense as an entrepreneur, if you have an idea and start a business, to create a page for it on Wikipedia. However, that is not what WP is about.

 * Delete. I can find absolutely no reliable, independent secondary sources that treat this Web site. It may, I suppose, become notable someday, but at the moment the article is a borderline A7 speedy for nonnotable Web content. Deor (talk) 15:11, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
