Milliamp (company)

This article was likely created for publicity as a result of this paid editing request on elance dot com. The company itself fails WP:N and WP:ORG with only some passing mentions in the news with no significant analysis. Wikipedia is not a repository for spam and it is not to be used for promotion.

 * Delete no significant coverage, some of the footnotes are a little disingenuous. --Bejnar (talk) 23:20, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The company is notable in media in the area of iPod/iPhone repair interest and has significant impact on YouTube around the same topic. The editing request appears without finality and meaning, it was not awarded to anyone. It could have been created by anybody without a serious intent of a paid editing request.

 * Weak delete The company does exist (and is a member of the San Antonio BBB ) but notability is questionable. Lots of online mentions in blogs and review sites, but little in the way of reliable sources. The references look more impressive than they are. Of the two NYT articles listed, one has a passing quote from the company's president; the other doesn't mention the company at all that I could find. --MelanieN (talk) 23:48, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess the NY Times article you said it doesn't mention the company is the one from 2007. The company is mentioned there as ipodjuice, In the History section of the article it is pointed out that the company (although named Milliamp from the very beginning) was known almost exclusively as ipodjuice between 2005-2009. This should be taken into consideration when assessing the notability, they should be taken into consideration sources for both Milliamp and ipodjuice brands. Milliamp is known to the public only for about a year. Dominick.j.bolden (talk) 18:27, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
