Merck headquarters

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

This article appears to be primarily a promotional page for the Merck Corporation - possibly authored by an employee of the corporation. It should be deleted as it does not conform to the non-commercial aspects of Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mickproper (talk • contribs) 2009/01/26 08:28:11
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 09:15, 26 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep My real life identity is known to many and they know I have never been employed or otherwise worked for Merck. The article is sourced to reliable sources, including New York Times 1, New York Times 2,  New York Times 3, Reuters, none of which are Merck and all of which are directly about the building (ie. non-trivial mentions).  I cannot see any pro-Merck language in the article, but would be open to suggestions.  MBisanz  talk 09:41, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, the building was designed by a notable architect and the topic is referenced with multiple reliable and notable sources. (WP:GNG) - Mgm|(talk) 11:59, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep  I don't see any promotion about Merck.  The subject is notable and the article is well sourced. --J.Mundo (talk) 12:30, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep' - Notable, well sourced, and I see no evidence of the problems alluded to in the nomination. Rlendog (talk) 20:26, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Everything seems in order here, notability is asserted through multiple mentions and analysis in newspapers and the article itself isn't nearly badly written enough to delete it. Themfromspace (talk) 22:16, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:N and WP:RS. --Patar knight - chat/contributions 22:23, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
