Seems thinly disguised spam.  Chzz  ►  02:28, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. If this is spam, it's not very good spam, since it doesn't sell a product and doesn't do a very good job of advertising who can sell that product. The term is notable--here's an article from the Christian Science Monitor, "So-called 'nearshoring' could generate a reverse globalization that brings manufacturing back to Mexico." Much more in a Google News search, see here. There is no doubt in my mind that the term is notable. The article needs some help, to put it mildly. Drmies (talk) 04:24, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Rename and change the content As I mentioned before Nearshoring is not a common term, "Nearshore Outsourcing" much more recognizable and adequate for today's needs, as it derivative term from "Offshore Outsourcing". That's why this article doesn't take high positions in SEPR. Also, this article seems like focused only on Latin America while Nearshore Outsourcing is more wide-spread in Europe. So I propose to add sub-section about Nearshore Outsourcing to Offshore Outsourcing page, and after that to rename this page and correct the content. If we leave this page we need to sort information: Nearshoring in Europe and Nearshoring in Latin America.(Sergeyl1984 (talk) 11:04, 22 March 2009 (UTC))
 * Sergey, while I appreciate the work you're doing on the article, there seems to be a serious copyvio problem that was introduced, from this site. Drmies (talk) 19:12, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not clear that nearshoring is a less common name than nearshore outsourcing. It is clear, however, as this Asia Times article and this Radio Praha report evidence, that this is a subject that has been documented in depth in multiple independent reliable published works.  (They are only two of the many things available.  Note that they both use both names for the subject, seemingly arbitrarily.)  The PNC is satisfied.  Whatever the "spam" concerns, they are addressed by taking such sources in hand and editing, to make the article better.  Drmies is quietly demonstrating exactly how this is done, and xe is using no more than the ordinary editing tool that xe, Chzz the nominator here, and every other editor, all possess. Keep.

 * Keep. And leave the title as-is, per news citations above.  Article has been heavily improved and pruned since nomination. Squidfryerchef (talk) 20:17, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
