 * We have tried to create a factual page and not just marketing.  I understand that others may not see it quite the same but explaining what is wrong on the page would really help - just deleting doesn't.  We tried to follow the same sort of format as other Wikipedia pages for Institutes (like ).   Just deleting the page doesn't give us a clue as to what is disliked on the page.    If it is that we are adding an entry for a commercial organization, again, I see lots of others on Wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibvposter (talk • contribs) 15:58, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: I cleaned the article up some and wikified it.  It seems notable enough, but it is in desparate need of some cited reliable sources for verification. I feel like a tourist (talk) 16:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are some news articles about the company's work at http://news.google.com/news?q=%22Institute+for+Business+Value%22&btnG=Search+News and http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Institute+for+Business+Value%22 On the basis of these references, I think the company is notable. --Eastmain (talk) 16:54, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Where Eastmain says "some" he means "408" Google news hits. Also 113 Google books hits, with the first listing a book entitled, Creating Value with Knowledge: Insights from the IBM Institute for Business Value . Phlegm Rooster (talk) 18:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep and add sources. Thisis a major IBM multinational project. DGG (talk) 14:21, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
