This is an article that keeps being recreated by people with COI, including one suspected instance of socking. It is purely promotional and hase been deleted as such at least once. Harry the Dog WOOF  14:11, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per nomination: non-neutral text that fits the profile: ....purpose of improving the technical skills of the underprivileged in the fields of social media, web design, SEO and crowdsourcing. That's what the underprivileged need, I guess: search engine manipulation.  'References' are to recycled company announcements. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:02, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

I have removed the opening sentence as you suggested. I assure you that my purpose was not to promote "search engine manipulation", but to give an example of how new industries in South Africa can provide the underprivileged with what they need: jobs. Please let me know if there are any further issues I can correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael.prince1990 (talk • contribs) 06:51, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:ORG. The coverage I found appeared to be comprised entirely of press releases. Portions of the article are copied directly from the org's website. None but shining hours (talk) 15:34, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
