Gigmasters.com, Inc.
Non-notable (fails WP:Corp) company. No reliable sources (and none found with a brief search). Appears to be using Wikipedia as advertizing, Google search for gigmasters -wikipedia produces three results, two to the gigmasters.com website. Edits appear to be by User:Gigmasters and User:69.120.243.181. Both these accounts have been used almost exclusively to add links to Gigmasters article or web site. Article speedied once. Second speedy tag removed by 69.120.243.181 with comment "fixed article" (though only change was tag removal). Siobhan Hansa 12:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC).


 * Comment This is a legitimate online entertainment booking business which has been around since 1997. Why is this being considered an advertisement? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.120.243.181 (talk).
 * Because it does not meet the criteria outlined in WP:CORP. --Nehwyn 13:21, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * ... and because all of the other edits to articles made by, , and , across many articles have been either to internally link to this article or to Kevin H. Kinyon, or link externally to the web site. Uncle G 16:47, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Nehwyn 13:21, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, corporate spam. NawlinWiki 14:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 *  Speedy delete (category G4) - recreated article &mdash; Tivedshambo (talk) 16:51, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * G4 does not apply to speedy deletions, for the reasons given in the very explanation of the criterion. Uncle G 16:55, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * My mistake - changed to delete, as per nom. &mdash; Tivedshambo (talk) 16:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Although legitimate (I've actually used them to book something), they fail WP:Corp. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Knicholls (talk • contribs).
 * Strong Delete clearly part of an orchestrated spamming campaign to promote this website regardless of the harm it inflicts on Wikipedia. user:69.120.243.181 alone has spammed more than 50 articles with links to Gigmasters. The company clearly fails WP:CORP and this article could easily be removed under WP:CSD:A7. Gwernol 21:33, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Borders on G11 due to the level of spamming of other articles by this user, but I'll stick with a regular delete on this article itself. Resolute 22:34, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete per nom. has been systematically spamming gigmasters.com throughout Wikipedia. -- Jim Douglas (talk)  (contribs)  22:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, adcopy for non-notable corp and vehicle for spamming other articles. Very few google refs - mostly forum chatter and reflinks. Kuru  talk  00:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
