 * Weak keep. The references suggest at least some notability, and someone with access to the relevant trade publications might be able to add more. -- Eastmain (talk) 06:42, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - the article DOES assert notability ("fastest-growing") but notability is not temporary; whichever company may be the "fastest-growing" at any particular time in history is of no interest unless the company is otherwise notable. Also, per WP:ORG, the company would require "significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject".  The cited sources are not significant coverage - they're merely the entry of the company on a non-notable list - and don't meet WP:ORG.  Good faith searches for "Kotick Marketing Group" in news turn up little more than resume-style entries for its founder.  - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:08, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:30, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete, would say speedy delete as blatant advertising, but for a 2d AfD it may be best to set a firm precedent here. This is a full-service, multi-dimensional marketing firm.  Oonh, it's multi-dimensional we are, is it?  What dimensions do you practice in besides this one?  The agency’s focus lies in the strategic development of numerous industry brands and the creation of integrated marketing campaigns and promotions for Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) clients.  In other words, empty, typical buzzwords, and referenced only to directories and internal sites.  May be notable on Earth-2, but here, this is just spam. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:42, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - there was no first AfD, only that by some glitch two contemporary deletion discussions are running: Articles for deletion/Kotick Marketing Group and this one. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:46, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
