MIT Cables

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

Article is just marketing fluff for a company. It got de-proded, so I bring it to AFD -- RoySmith (talk) 13:30, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete-the article fails WP:CORP and violates WP:NOTADVERTISING. S R X -- Latino Heat  14:03, 16 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete, weakly, and without prejudice. This might be a notable company making consumer goods.  But the only references are to their own websites or to blogs, and to their list of patent claims.  - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:11, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. See the references at this Google News archive search. --Eastmain (talk) 20:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep This seems to be in some way the progenitor of Monster Cables, if I understand the article correctly. It certainly needs a good deal of re-writing. Has the nom even tried to source it? DGG (talk) 21:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment If Roy isn't going to do the very basic courtesy of notifying the creator that his article is being deleted (which he hasn't), then he should have his deleting privileges revoked. The fact that he apparently deletes constantly, but apparently does not notify creators says loads about his etiquette skills. ImpIn | (t - c) 21:40, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I assume people watch the articles they create and notice when they're edited. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:01, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It is easy to miss things on the watchlist, and new users are often not even very aware of the watchlist. This happened to me on an article I created. It's hard to miss the "you have new messages!". Also, I'm not sure if this is the case here, but on Wikiquote I get emails when someone posts a message on my talk page -- this should be the default if it is not on here.

 * Weak Delete Article reads like a blatant advertisement and the MIT cables I find in reliable third party sources are the cables themselves and not this company. Notification should have been given on the auhtor/primary contributors page but, absence of that isn't reason enough to keep. Jasynnash2 (talk) 12:51, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * P.S. I've gone ahead and placed notification on the author's page. Jasynnash2 (talk) 12:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
