Company does not meet notability requirements for companies. Article appears to be primarily promotional in nature. Most work on this article was done by an editor who has no other contributions but this article and two stubs about its founders. The list of customers and partners is not sourced, and implies an inside knowledge of the company's operations which indicated that the article was written by someone connected to the company, violating WP:COI. Some sources, one of which appears on the company website so it may not be reliable, but even these don't prove notability. A private company with just 30 employees and little independently verifiable information doesn't quite seem to clear notability guidelines. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 22:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete: Article reads very like the press releases it cites as references on the page. The main editor has only concentrated on this article, and the two stub articles about the firm's founders - Richard H. Barnett and Jeffery S. Sampson in just under a year. I would suggest that these two stubs are deleted too. The firm gets over 2,000 ghits, but nothing to suggest notability.--Seahamlass (talk) 22:51, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I've PRODded the two execs first, and will take them to AfD if need be. The original author hasn't been around WP since January, so I suspect PROD will suffice. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 17:27, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Article looks nice enough, but it is far too promotional.  Verkhovensky (talk) 00:41, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
