Article reads more like an advertisement. Almost all google links are back to company or subsidiary. Lacks notability. Was prodded and removed, so this is the next step. Avi 18:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I came to Wiki looking for info on this rather obscure but interesting company. I saw that the existing article had been proposed for deletion, and admittedly it was pretty useless (seemingly copied from marketing collateral). So I decided to try and make it a little better. Google revealed a couple of previously published stories, one in Crain's New York Business (Jan 27, 2003) and another in the Wall Street Journal (December 3, 2004). There was also a useful answer posted on Ask MetaFilter (http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/16697), which actually had much better info than Wiki. I hope the additional info improves the article, but it would be useful to have more recent info (which I don't have). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Telematique (talk • contribs) 14:45, June 9, 2006 (UTC)
 * I presume you mean to vote for keep, but you may wish to clarify that, or preface your remarks with "Comment" if you do not wish to vote. -- Avi 22:41, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Weak delete unless notability established by reliable sources; many external links are broken; article notes that it is "little known outside Wall Street circles". Sandstein 20:58, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
