Jaffe Communications Inc.

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested prod. Article is an advertisement for a communications company, with no significant coverage in reliable sources (it should be noted that patch.com is not a reliable source, as it lacks editorial oversight, is mainly self-published, etc.) I can only find passing mentions and press releases.

Unlike many other similar firms whose Wikipedia Pages that I read, studied and scrutinized before I authored this page, Jaffe Communications is notable in that it is a "socially responsible" firm, concerned with improving social ills in New Jersey -- homelessness, education reform, campaign finance reform, and helping to combat adverse perceptions of people with disabilities. The firm is also notable because its principles are all former award-winning journalists who did not sacrifice their ethics when they left the newspaper business and formed a private public relations company. If Wikipedia deletes the entry for Jaffe Communications Inc., I must insist Wikipedia delete entries for Fleishman-Hillard, 5W Public Relations Allied Media Corp, Block & DeCorso, Constructive Communication, Edward Howard (Fahlgren Mortine Public Relations), MWW Group, M80 Agency, Pro-Media Communications, and countless other firms whose entries are far, far more blatant advertising vehicles.User:Savvymoose —Preceding undated comment added 15:35, 29 July 2010 (UTC). — Savvymoose (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment. Thanks for the list.  I checked the articles you mentioned above.  Some have been through deletion discussions before; some others would appear to have genuine historical or cultural significance.  The ones that had neither have been proposed for deletion or speedy deletion. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:17, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment That other stuff exists is not considered a valid argument to retain this one. See WP:OTHERSTUFF.  As far as deleting the other articles you mention, you can nominate them for deletion and each will be debated on its own merits.  There is even opportunity to re-nominate articles, although you ought to read WP:BEFORE before doing so.  Wikipeterproject (talk) 16:50, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is another behind the scenes business, a public relations and publishing firm.  And despite the best attempts by a PR firm at astroturfing this, including apparently uploading portraits of the principals --- now there's a way to make your conflict of interest obvious --- there's no indication that this business has the sort of historical, technical, or cultural significance of the kind that leads to long term historical notability. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 19:33, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Retain this entry – Please retain this entry. This firm is committed to social responsibility and has partnered with clients to undertake a variety of social issues. Unlike the other public relations/publishing firms with untouched/undeleted entries on Wikipedia, this sets this firm apart and makes it notable for Wikipedia inclusion. Also, this entry has 11 verifiable references from mainstream news media. savvymoose —Preceding unsigned comment added by Savvymoose (talk  [Special:Contributions/Savvymoose|contribs]]) 12:11, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * (Note: User:Savvymoose is the author of this article and is an WP:SPA. On the article's talk page he claims to be the owner of Savvymoose Properties in Vermont, a client of Jaffe, creating the article because he admires Jaffe so much. However, I have been unable to verify the existence of a company called Savvymoose Properties in Vermont.)--MelanieN (talk) 16:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - I also can't find independent and reliable sources that satisfy WP:CORP or WP:GNG. The article is grossly promotion and likely a complete COI. P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 20:28, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable, and blatant advertising. Google News Archive finds only press releases. Google search finds the company's own website plus social network sites - plus of course this article. --MelanieN (talk) 16:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Jaffe Communications Inc does not come close to meeting the notability requirements of Wikipedia.  It seems that it has received absolutely no coverage in secondary sources, let alone the "significant coverage" required to establish notability.  The secondary sources in the article do not even make passing reference to Jaffe Communications - they are all about different topics altogether.  I believe we have a social responsibility to uphold Wikipedia's core principles and delete this article.  :) Wikipeterproject (talk) 16:41, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
