GovLoop

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article appears to be self-promotion/advertisement of a website. The references cited appear to promote other promotion articles rather than about any notoriety of the website.

The wikipedia references I used to determine if Speedy Deletion applies to the named article are:
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spam#Advertisements_masquerading_as_articles
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Spam#External_link_spamming

Attemtped to add this line: to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2010_November_15&action=submit but wasn't able to do so. Have surmised that adding it (as instructed where the Submit button is, for this form) may require being an Administrator. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kernel.package (talk • contribs) 23:11, 15 November 2010

 * Keep Google News search reveals that (in addition to press releases etc.) this company has received quite a bit of coverage in Reliable Sources. I added to the article two links from the Washington Post and one from the Minneapolis Star-Journal; there are others. --MelanieN (talk) 05:00, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
