NetSPI

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

Previously speedy deleted but still reads like an advert. Unsure this can be rescued, so AfD raised. Oscarthecat (talk) 21:35, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and start fresh. Most of the contents of the current version actually belongs in the article Computer crime (and it's there already). Notability seems to be adequately asserted, though. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 22:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete and salt. References are not about this business specifically, which is a online consulting firm.  Speedy delete would be justified: the current text is obvious advertising full of patent nonsense, but it may be best for the stated reason to let this ride to establish a firm precedent against the recreation of any article about this business: The age of the Internet almost simultaneously became the age of the Internet criminal.[1] As email, web sites, and e-commerce flourished and provided new richness and productivity, so the hackers, script kiddies, phishers, denial-of-service attackers and email scammers were right behind, perpetrating disruption, needless expense, and theft on an enormous scale. Protecting individuals and businesses against these predators is the mission of IT security consulting firms such as NetSPI. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:29, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
