Copy, paste of the draft Draft:Madison Marquette. Article gives undue weight to certain areas and reads like an advertisement. Recommending this article be deleted. Although the draft may be published after the problems are sorted out by the author. JAaron95 &#40; Talk &#41;  15:10, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Deleessentially an advertisement. The only thing resembling a claim of notability is from an unreliable trade publication--and in any rate "one of the most..." is typical nonspecific PR talk. The references are eith mere notices or press releases -- the one from Foster Pepper, for example, is a press release by the firm's own attorney in the relevant transaction.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep Although BizJournals isn't great, there are two substantial pieces on them I see no reason to label trade journals - like Chain Store Age as unreliable - the trade press is the most likely to cover any given B2B company. If we relied only on the mainstream press, we'd only be able to cover consumer companies and controversies. I also see that the nom said at AFC that it was likely notable and they have 200+ employees, which is still small, but most companies start gaining some marginal notability around 100-150. Reports of the entire article being promotional due to a single sentence is greatly exaggerated. Most of it looks fine. CorporateM (Talk) 20:03, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

 * This looks to me to meet WP:CORP, although I would have preferred for it not to have been created by an SPA, which always smacks of COI. However, the references are there, so I'll say keep. LaMona (talk) 16:36, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
