Mckie & Co

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Have just declined the speedy A7 on this, as the awards noted is probably enough. It's fairly close to a speedy-spam, but I've seen much worse.

A very quick google check doesn't throw much back that could be considered to meet the GNG, just to demonstrate existence. Ged UK  14:18, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Obvious advertisement, without any reliable sources. News Search brings up just three results, all of which have nothing to do with the subject of this article.--hkr Laozi speak  14:27, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete this article on "a group of entities" that unremarkably exist to keep rich people rich. Oh, and I wonder about the articles on Simon and Sharon. -- Hoary (talk) 15:02, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete As the person who proposed the CSD, I agree with the comments above and this company doesn't meet the GNG. The article talk page comments inviting comparison with Price Waterhouse do suggest that this is a bit of advertising.  Regarding the articles on the principals, I did wonder about them but wonder if the books edited just push them over the threshold.  The articles need a good prune to make them less advert than they are. NtheP (talk) 18:47, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete Nothing to go on in the references that I can see. It's a company (or group of entities - to me that sounds like the crew of a flying saucer...) doing its job. (Presumably - you don't tend to stay in that sort of business if you don't.) As said above - keeping the rich rich. I also wonder about the articles on the principals - outside the day job they seem to write articles on taxation (probably how to avoid or lessen paying it, not the social benefits of paying it... I've not read them so that is a guess). How notable that makes them, I don't know. The article looks promotional to me, too. I wondered about it previously but couldn't find a speedy that fitted properly (and have only once managed to bring an article to AfD). Peridon (talk) 19:36, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
