JDQ Systems
Nominated for speedy deletion as "advertisement", but since that's not a criterion, I'm bringing it here. I want a stronger consensus than PROD, since the company has been around since 1988. Obviously written at first as promotional material, but maybe they're encyclopedic? They are the first thing to come up for JDQ on a Google search, and "JDQ systems" gets 2000 hits. Duplicate article posted at JDQ and JDQ Systems, Inc. - Experts in Business Process Improvement, which I redirected here. -- nae'blis 20:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. They provide world-class expertise in areas of business process improvement.  In other words, they aren't going to be specific about what their services entail.  And they have posted several duplicates of the original unencyclopedic advertisement.  - Smerdis of Tlön 20:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: In fairness, Business Process Improvement is an established article. I was surprised, too. -- nae'blis 21:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Sometimes, you feel like you ought to divert the waters of the Alpheus and Peneus rivers to clear away this rubbish. - Smerdis of Tlön 21:16, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Whatever the fate of the other articles, I cannot see how the redirect at the third title given in the nomination is in any way an article title that we should retain, even as a redirect. As my small contribution to the Herculean labours, I've searched for non-trivial published works sourced from other than the company itself. I've found plenty of Yellow Pages and business directory listings, press releases by the company congratulating its own president, and advertisements for expensive breakfasts that don't say anything at all about the company, but nothing at all that can be used to create an encyclopaedia article.  The WP:CORP criteria are not satisfied. Delete. Uncle G 00:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
