Kensei Media

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

Non-notable company. Google news archive search turns up a grand total of one hit, which seems to be a press release. The provided citation in the article does not directly deal with the subject of the article. No notability is established, nor is any evidence of notability able to be found. No real assertion of notability is made in the article. In addition, due to lack of reliable sources, the verifiability of the article's claims is in doubt The   Seeker 4   Talk  19:13, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Kensei has several large profile clients including Live Nation and Northcliffe Media. The Kensei Media website was officially launched around 1 week ago, and as such has not been fully indexed by search engines. Because they have not had a web site until recently, none of their partners or clients sites link to kenseimedia.com. However, their platform has been powering an increasing number of web sites since 2007 - now estimated to be around 500 web and mobile sites. Grimfandango (talk) 19:27, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

I've updated the organisations who use the platform, and added more citations and links. As a start-up though, there isn't much information on the web. Grimfandango (talk) 19:37, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. There do not appear to be multiple third-party reliable sources discussing this outfit. Wikipedia is not for advertising your start-up company. Mr Stephen (talk) 22:33, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I understand Wikipedia is not for advertising, and when I wrote the article it was not my intention to advertise the company. The article doesn't make any grandiose statements, just states the truth, and when KM now power a reasonable number of sites I thought adding KM to Wikipedia would be ok. As for no reliable third-party sources, these will only come in time (see previous comment). Large organisations rarely (if ever) put out press-releases about a start-up who powered their latest project. However, I concede it may be impossible at this time to establish notability beyond my own statements, so if the entry has to go, it has to go. A few months down the line, when there's more information on the web, would it be ok to resubmit then? Grimfandango (talk) 12:55, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Resubmit any time there are multiple third-party reliable sources with non-trivial coverage. Tomorrow, next week, ten years, never—who knows?  Mr Stephen (talk) 19:47, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
