Non-notable insurance broker, refs either don't mention it or are non-reliable lists, mentions in passing, or press releases.  T RANSPORTER M AN  ( TALK ) 17:10, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Having a look through the South China Morning Post Archives and there are a number of articles which mention the company, however while they are online, they exist behind a paywall - is citing these articles enough? I've gone ahead and cited the articles on the page anywaysScrugbyhk (talk) 08:16, 4 August 2010 (UTC) Included Hong Kong Standard (newspaper) article on the company Scrugbyhk (talk) 03:13, 5 August 2010 (UTC) Is an interview given by the company, appearing in a third party website notable?

 * Delete I'd questioned this article back in 2007, and the references haven't improved much since. They seem to be a modest-sized insurance broker, not particularly notable. They've also been spamming forums. --John Nagle (talk) 19:08, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is one of Asia’s brokers of international health insurance products.  References in the article are quite routine announcements and listings.  No showing of historical, technical, or cultural significance. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 19:18, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep the company is receiving recognition among it's peers for it's innovation within the Asian insurance industry, even in so far as a direct competitor has included Pacific Prime's background on their website .. As the first Asian Online Insurance company, this should be notable especially in light of the industry recognition. In addition to this the Company appeared in the AWARE Magazine Hong Kong February 2009 issue on Financial management in Hong Kong - notable in local media . Furthermore, the company also received Car and Driver Magazine's 2009 Service Award under the Kwiksure brand. As an award winning company, again featured in local media, i would say that there is notability to the subject of Pacific Prime . Neil Raymond, the CEO of the company was also interviewed by Danwei (a leading chinese news source), in which the article references the company in regards to the Chinese healthcare market, also added a 2002 article on healthcare in China featuring Kwiksure Scrugbyhk (talk) 03:52, 3 August 2010 (UTC)Kwiksure.com was interviewed by Google Adwords as a benchmark for Asian online advertising, have included this video as a reference  Scrugbyhk (talk) 02:34, 4 August 2010 (UTC) The company was also listed by lonely planet as being a reputable insurance broker in China  added this reference in the page. Scrugbyhk (talk) 06:06, 4 August 2010 (UTC) Added older (2001) online partnership news article to references  Scrugbyhk (talk) 07:01, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete, N/N and spammy. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 01:52, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * with all the new references could someone please tell me why it is not notable?Scrugbyhk (talk) 02:11, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The "new references" #7 through #14 are either 1) links to brief mentions of the company in a directory (such as Yahoo's directory) or article, 2) items that don't even mention the company, or 3) dead links.  --John Nagle (talk) 16:10, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
