I speedied this as an A7 but the creator contacted me to point out some sources. Most are in Russian so I am listing here as the benefit of the doubt. Stifle (talk) 22:01, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Confused about withdraw of speedy delete What exactly is the CLAIM of notability in the article? I assume that is why you tagged it, but I still don't see a valid claim, thus would still be speedy delete material.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 22:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm just bringing it here to get a more binding decision. Stifle (talk) 20:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

 * About the claim: those have a funny way of being taken for blatant advertising or PR work on someone's part. We in wiki have a list of market research firms by country, do we not? The british and american lists are quite huge, but the rest of the world is sorely lacking. The claim is simple: either major players in major countries should have articles and be on the list, or the list ought to get binned as well. This seems to be a step towards addressing the issue. Or do we seriously not consider it strange that only ***all of 9 countries*** have their own market research firms (and the Hong Kong one is a regional office of a Dutch-American company anyway)?! Oh, and dear exclusionists, if you are going to go on about it not being nearly as huge as something like Nielsen - I implore you to join the "Let's delete Andorra" club.

 * Speedy delete Even if you overlooked the blatant WP:COI problems (check the name of the article's author against the name of the company's Moscow director), the WP:RS and WP:V situation cannot be ignored. Ecoleetage (talk) 01:19, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
