WP:N not established. The article has been used as an advertisement ever since 2009, with a few industry award websites as the only secondary sources. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 20:16, 22 May 2013 (UTC)


 * KEEP- This article is not an advertisement, but is an accurate description of the company Kelton, and contains multiple secondary sources, including industry awards websites and an article from the financial times. There is no reason to delete this article, any changes that you think should be made should be specifically noted so that they can be addressed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pgalinsky (talk • contribs) 20:48, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable. Though the company has facilitated multiple research surveys, they unfortunately do not have coverage specific to the company itself. --Pusillanimous (talk&bull;contribs) 22:54, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Kelton is a strategy consultancy that creates consumer-oriented business solutions. They create brand relevance and resonance for their clients, by interpreting insights, developing strategies, and creating solutions designed to deliver on consumer desires. Excuse me while I barf. The article is big on buzzwords but totally lacking in substantial coverage by independent reliable sources. Fails WP:CORP. --MelanieN (talk) 23:15, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
 * weak delete One can always find a promotional sentence and use it as characteristic of the entire article--I do not think that a fair argument. . The article actually consists of a list of awards (mostly minor), a list of services ( that ought to be removed), and description of the work for a very few major clients ( which might be encyclopedic content) . As for awards, . Personally, I think we should stop recognizing awards as "top 100 in city", "100 fastest growing", and especially, "100 fastest growing in city" -- they are intrinsically either local, not yet notable, or both. This particular firm is 51st among the top 100 in its field. I don;t know how far down we should go, but it's borderline., and for borderline we should e insist on better sources. &#39;DGG (at NYPL) (talk) 19:17, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
