 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

No sources indicating notability of this company; does not appear to meet WP:CORP standards. OhNo itsJamie Talk 19:10, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:COMPANY and WP:NOTE. No significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. Also appears to be a promotional page, which is of course, one of many things Wikipedia is not. ThePointblank (talk) 00:25, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Over half of the references point to the company's website, three more are a press release, and others are government public records. Nothing whatsoever to indicate that the company meets Wikipedia standards. — Travis talk  01:02, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete = Not notable, written like an ad, and uses a page on a free press release site as a reference to make statements about a living person (the George Wendt claim, reference #7). Flopsy Mopsy and Cottonmouth (talk) 04:51, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Accept-After reviewing the government references, all the names and dates of the company match the state filings. In addition, after reviewing reference (8) which is the IL Birth & Marriage Records, proves relation from the Founder of the company to George Wendt through several last names/ blood lines; Garbowicz, Krieps, Hoth, Wendt. Additional references are a corporate website and a web press release, these are enough to meet WP:COMPANY guidelines listed here:"Notable means "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice." It is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance." Please consider notable and demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education. Large organizations are likely to have more readily available verifiable information from reliable sources that provide evidence of notability; however, smaller organizations can be notable, just as individuals can be notable, and arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations." Also, after a Google of the business I was able to find several references including a publishing from "earl stein entertainment" regarding George Wendt using them as his primary agent, which I called to reference and Geoff Cheddy ( phone number blanked by admin ), George Wendts Manager, said they had agreed to the endorsement.
 * There is notable information about the company from 2nd and 3rd party sources. The information is limited but that does not make them not applicable for a wiki article. I would recommend some edits on the article though. (Ynights09|talk) 11:50 (EST), 9 January 2009 — Ynights09 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment: I would like to point out to you the very first line of WP:COMPANY, which reads, "An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources." Nothing you have pointed out can be considered a reliable, independent secondary source. — Travis talk  20:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Fails WP:COMPANY and WP:NOTE. No significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. Also appears to be a promotional page, per nom. -- MISTER ALCOHOL  TC 20:12, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete In addition to the remarks from the other antis above, I find the article contains many irrelevancies. What notability is there in an endorsement from someone who appears to be some sort of family member? I mean, could you see Bill Gates using his uncle as a recommender for Vista (even as a last ditch attempt...)? Peridon (talk) 20:18, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment KEEP They were just posted on the front page of Techcrunch.com and they are in the Crunchbase.com database (Ynights09|talk) 10:36 (EST), 9 January 2009
 * That does not show notability per WP:CORP. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and encyclopedias need to have only notable topics. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 03:43, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, Crunchbase is not a reliable source. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 03:48, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * And Techcrunch is not one also. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 03:50, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
