Olive Telecommunications

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable company. Nothing significant but another startup company. For being in Wikipedia need to be much more significant than this. Else Wikipedia will become a Startup directory. 1000s of startups happens every day. Just another one. Notability required repeated significant coverage by media as well as significance in itself. building Wikipedia page for their publicity, releasing press release on media. Covered once in a while. or covered mostly by Startup blogs not the notable media. it is not Encyclopedia notable. Definitely the article is written by close associate or company itself.

 * Delete per nom - incredibly blatant advertising, and I note the user who started it was . If this didn't date to 2009 I'd have speedied it - David Gerard (talk) 21:27, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Another cut-and-paste nomination deletion nom with no evidence of WP:BEFORE. Plenty of reliable sources with significant coverage in article; also Wired and  The Hindu. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 21:34, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
 * That Wired article is literally a pasing mention, The Hindu is PR coverage if not actually a reprinted press release (which it is written in the style of) - David Gerard (talk) 23:10, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete instead by all means, notice a similarity with the listed news sources and the information, it all focuses with such blatant company activities and it goes as such a far end to contain pricing and financing information, you know that's an advertisement, and it's still one if a news source publishes it, because it ultimately shows, not only churnalism, but that the company supplied the "news", meaning it's certainly not independent, significant or substantial; they may as well have named it "Company Press Releases", and not even list the newspaper's name. Even considering its age, this would and could in fact be speedy material, because it's simply so blatant, but we would have best with ammunition later because chances are that a staunchly advertising company like this, will attempt to restart, because nearly all cases, that's what happens. Because these articles are then sugarcoated with such blatant fluff and puff, we cannot automatically take them seriously and list them as actual news, especially if that's how cunning the advertising field is, that they will attempt several times and several methods, and that's what we see here with articles. Not only is the article containing clear signs of the company's involvements, but notice the timeline of no actual changes, this could at first suggest they have no current interests, but as other cases have shown, this is a case where they literally think it's currently acceptable, especially since it contains anything and everything a company looking to advertise could ask for.

 * Delete per WP:PROMO with a dose of WP:TNT; strictly "corporate spam" & a product brochure in the form of a Wikipedia article. Sources offered above are not convincing, and the problems with the article go too deep to be fixed by sources. Accepting such badly promotional articles is not in the best interest of the project; otherwise, Wikipedia becomes a WP:WEBHOST for companies' promotional materials.
