Forestweb Inc

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable company. Appears to be part of an overall promotion campaign related to all of founder Rami Ghandour's enterprises. The only glimmer of independent coverage for this company is a minor lawsuit that was eventually dropped prior to trial. All other citations are to company-released press releases or business directory listings. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:07, 14 March 2012 (UTC)


 * delete: article is not about the company, which it should be.  Instead, it is about litgation (which seems it could be a valid article, like Forestweb Inc. v. Stora Enso Timber).  Other than this legal action, the company does not appear to be notable.  It is now called Industry Intelligence Inc, also up for deletion.  —EncMstr (talk) 22:44, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. I have removed a long section on a lawsuit, which was totally disproportionate coverage in an article supposedly about a company, and which seemed to be use of the article as a WP:COATRACK. I have also removed a couple of spam links masquerading as "references" but not mentioning Forestweb Inc, let alone supporting any statements made in the article about Forestweb Inc. What is left is an unreferenced article about a company with no indication of significance or importance. In fact, it could be speedily deleted, in my opinion, but I am willing to let the AfD run its course. All the evidence suggests that this article was created for promotional purposes, in common with other articles created by the same editor. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:10, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
