Partners In Leadership

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

Messy article which purports to be about a company but which also appears to be a WP:COATRACK for biographies of the founders and the company publications (and both of these subjects have significantly longer sections than that for the company itself). The company itself indicates no notability. The founders fail to meet WP:BIO. The section on books shows nothing to meet WP:BK and quotes publicity material in contravention of WP:SPAM. The entire article has no reliable sources - the only references are to the company's own website or to Wikipedia pages which do not support the assertion. The author shows no sign of resolving these issues - tags are simply removed without addressing the issues raised. Delete. Ros0709 (talk) 22:24, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Originally created as blatant spam. "Adoption" of the article has not done anything to establish the notability of its subjects. Also the coatrack objections above. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 23:35, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Puff piece with no reliable, third-party sources. VG &#x260E; 23:43, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment if the books are best sellers & it can be verified, there should be an article somewhere-either the company or the authors or the books. DGG (talk) 00:55, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * CommentI feel similarly, the book is a best-seller and the company has been created basically on the premise of the book...So how can I re-write to make it wikipedia approved? Should I create an article about the book with a sub-heading regarding the company?  Please advise..than you, mnpil  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mnpil (talk • contribs) 17:20, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Do you have any evidence that the book was a New York Times best seller? I can't find it on the NYT web site, which has archives of the best seller lists. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:52, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - Non-notable. Comment - The book might meet notability if there are enough book reviews written that can be sourced for content in the article. The company could then warrant a mention in that article. - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 00:32, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
