Myca

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

I believe the company fails relevant notability requirements. Borderline spam and no indication of reliable third-party coverage: Ghits are either from the company's website, associated companies' websites or press releases. Pichpich (talk) 16:14, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - doesn't appear to pass WP:COMPANY or WP:RS and does indeed read like WP:SPAM. Mmmmm... Spam. --  JediLofty UserTalk 16:26, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep After the recent alterations I'd say the article now passes both WP:COMPANY and WP:RS. God job, folks! --  JediLofty UserTalk 08:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. When an article lacks references from reliable sources, it is a good idea to do an archive search at http://news.google.com or (in this case, since the company is based in Canada) http://news.google.ca I was able to find some coverage in a number of Canadian newspapers, and I added some references to the article. Interesting, the Canadian coverage of this company is somewhat critical, mentioning that a virtual consultation can be less useful than a physical visit, whereas the U.S. coverage is uncritical. In any event, I think that notability has now been established with the new references. --Eastmain (talk) 19:03, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep – There appears to be enough third-party coverage to establish WP:GNG notability. I also added a Washington Times article as a source. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 21:36, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Eastmain and Paul Erik's additions - I note also that the company's product MyFoodPhone (now Myca Nutrition) has certainly been the subject of significant third-party coverage, with write-ups in The Washington Post, Wired magazine, et al. Also coverage of the recent "Hello Health" initiative in a Wall Street Journal blog. Gr1st (talk) 21:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
