Gamil Design

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Another advertisement for a very non-notable design firm. I started fixing it, but realized there was not enough left for notability. Has designed a few very minor accessories for popular products--the names of those notable products fill the article with bluelinks. When I saw the link to Trek Bicycles, I expected they might have designed an important helmet, but what they designed was a cage for a water bottle. I expected to see the usual several thousand dollar donation to local charities that's in article like this, but I see instead that the organized a community meeting.

 * Delete I'm also surprised this was G11 declined, maybe because it is such a long article. I actually agree the firm is most notable for having a name close to gmail. I don't think that gets them over the GNG barrier. Absent that coincidence, there would not even be a debate about notability. If DGG tried to make this page work and failed, time to delete.

 * Delete -- sources do not establish notability; most of it is trivial, as in:
 * Aly Khalifa gave the company his middle name,[1] Arabic for "handsome", pronounced gah-meel.[2]
 * Bottom line: sources fails WP:CORPDEPTH and the article is mostly promotional. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:28, 20 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Redirect I would recommend redirecting to Gmail so that it will still be possible to read about the one reason this company is notable, assuming a brief mention of people accidentally reaching this company's web site is considered acceptable. I overestimated the company's notability and should have given up all those years ago when it was clear the sources were never going to meet Wikipedia's standards.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  15:33, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
