ICONICS

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested speedy and re-created page. Non-notable company; borderline (if not blatant) advertising. 9Nak (talk) 16:02, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom.
 * Comment - This is a borderline case indeed; the company may be known within the industry (500 Google hits for ICONICS+GENESIS), but is far from a household name. The GENESIS32 article was purely promotional, so I turned it into a redir to the company article for now. I have asked the author to rewrite the ICONICS article to show notability. Let's give him a chance to do that. Owen&times; &#9742;  16:17, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Update: The author seems disinterested in improving the article, ignores attempts to reason with him, and is now trying to recreate the deleted GENESIS32 page. I don't see much chance of saving this article. Owen&times; &#9742;  17:47, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. More than borderline. This article reads like a company promotional brochure. It needs a rewrite from the bottom up. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 17:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment It's not clear what guidelines those would be. The only guideline I can see is the WP:BFAQ page that  referenced on Category talk:Automation.  However, THAT FAQ specifically cites a process whereby an author affiliated with a company should request assistance from a member of a related Wikiproject (WP:Wikiproject Companies in this case).  The ICONICS article has been edited exclusively by "an author with a disclosed affiliation to the company".  The other articles cited here were all created by independent authors.
