Insufficiently sourced article about a probably non-notable financial company. Sources appear to be great in number but poor in quality. Entries in listings and directories generally are not valid indicators of notability. Salimfadhley (talk) 04:29, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete, fails WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:GNG. sst✈(discuss) 07:16, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete for now at best as News, Books, browsers and Highbeam all found several links but perhaps not enough for a considerably better article yet. SwisterTwister   talk  08:00, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - I found the same links on news, books, and Highbeam. Although they are in reliable sources, they are all brief mentions or quotes from company execs. I also went through the news on its website  which yielded the same results. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:GNG.--CNMall41 (talk) 08:32, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
 * KeepI'm curious to know how you guys think a company is "not-notable" when they selected to advise the Office of Inspector General of a major US govt agency regarding an issue which encompasses many years and BILLIONS of dollars (see citation 8)? As a US taxpayer I think it's notable that my fellow citizens and I know what companies our government is doing business with then it comes to multi-billion dollar issues. It looks like they are/were in the running for a similar project competing against the likes of McKinsey & Company, arguably the most reputable consulting company in the world (see citation 9)?

 * Comment - Please see these two guidelines - WP:NOT & WP:ORG. Also, as articles for deletion discussions are based on consensus, and not vote count, it would be helpful to show how they meet WP:ORG by providing relevant sources showing in depth coverage of the company. I have looked, but have not found anything other then brief mentions of the company. --CNMall41 (talk) 01:24, 18 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete fails GNG and NCORP; cannot seem to find reliable secondary coverage. Vanamonde93 (talk) 06:03, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
