North Rock Communications

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Newly created stub about non-notable local telecommunications company. PROD removed by creator, an SPA with a name reflecting a COI. Four refs, (a) a statute which fails to mention the entity or support any of the content (b) an submission written by the company on telecommunications law (failing independence) (c) an interview in a local paper given by a company officer (failing independence) and (d) an interview in the same local paper given by an officier of a rival company, about claims made by NRC. Searching in google failed to find any coverage in usual financial outlets, but showed some coverage a second local paper http://bermudasun.bm/, North Rock Communications appears to be a a major advertiser there, underming any independance. All the coverage appears to be related to related to NRC's battle against larger ISPs and the Bermuda goverrnment to change the regulatory framework in place, the issue driven largely by NRC (except for a minor accounting error). In short, I see nothing that meets the depth requirements of WP:CORP, because it's all generated in by or in response to media campaigning by NRC. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:37, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

We think that our entries are similar to those of these other companies that already have existing entires: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claro_El_Salvador http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Link_Communication http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BanglaLion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubee http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulacom_Jordan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sogetel

But would certainly hope for any other suggestions as to firm up our entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Northrockweb (talk • contribs) 22:41, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi there! We clearly labelled our account in order to identify ourselves to the editors. As for the references and regulatory citations, I was under the belief that they (although not positive) were to validate our existence, being independent third parties. Yes, we advertise with them, but so do all our competitors. Unfortunately the scale of our island does not lend itself to large-scale news coverage, but known to every person in this country. And the citations are also to link our board members with the regulatory program -- it just so happens that our news itself isn't positive, but it's a rather large issue on our tiny island! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Northrockweb (talk • contribs) 22:36, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Per comments by Northamerica1000, plus other coverage per: may show additional cultural significance in Bermuda. Celtechm (talk) 16:54, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, appears notable per the sources provided by Northamerica; they provide in-depth coverage, all from a single source, but it appears to be the most reliable and best-respected newspaper in Bermuda. The additional item found by Caltechm is a trivial mention but does provide a second source. Article is pretty objective, mostly free of puffery and spam. --MelanieN (talk) 21:42, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
