Keane (company)

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

Also nominating Mani Subramanian, as his sole claim to notability appears to be this company.

No notability established and a quick google test shows minimal promise in the possibility of notability being established. Early revisions of the article read like a spamvertisement and the current version is only minimally better. In short, appears to fail WP:CORP hard.

 * EDIT - Per Dhartung's links I'm removing my nomination of the company. However, I'm still not seeing anything about Mani Subramanian that makes him notable, so my nomination there stands.  Admins, feel free to move/refactor/whatever this AfD as appropriate due to the new focus. -- Y&#124;yukichigai (ramble   argue  check ) 01:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. What kind of search did you do? Keane is one of the largest suppliers of IT contractors in the US/UK. Article needs better sources and a rewrite, of course, but that's a tag issue. --Dhartung | Talk 06:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I searched for any of those independent, third-party sources that have non-trivial coverage of the firm. I didn't spot any, though if there's some sources you know of please point 'em out; I'm willing to admit I could be wrong on this, but until I see evidence to the contrary this just seems like another megacorp that people have assumed is worthy of Wikipedia inclusion based on sheer size alone. -- Y&#124;yukichigai (ramble   argue  check ) 06:33, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You must not have searched very hard, as I was easily able to find WSJ BW NYT Globe Red Herring The Hindu Asia Times eWeek The Age ABCMoney.co.uk WashTech .... that covers four continents. --Dhartung | Talk 20:54, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Dhartung. There is plenty of information, contracts information about Keane. There are interviews with Mani Subramaniam, if you google and read through about top 25 hits! Kannan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.23.182 (talk) 23:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
