Doesn't appear to be notable. Third party refs are passing mentions. Black Kite (talk) 18:16, 15 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep, seems well enough sourced to me. Specs112   t   c  19:42, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree that at least two of the four current references are passing mentions. They fail the "significant coverage" criteria of WP:N. The Strauss book is not independent, so I don't believe it should be used to determine notability. Of the three remaining, they're all puff pieces that demonstrate little notability beyond that at one time the company did enough marketing to get some notice. The San Francisco Magazine has slightly more information than the other two, but it's still little more than a blip of local interest. --Ronz (talk) 20:29, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep 3 suitable sources, each with suitable coverage. Could not evaluate the 4th.  North8000 (talk) 21:17, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - although there are only 4 sources, they are all credible, reliable, and independent. --MMMMadManiac (talk) 20:14, 19 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete as failing WP:CORP, or merge to Pickup artist. There are passing mentions but no coverage of the subject as a company. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:21, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Have looked at sources so far included: all passing mentions but 1, and not sure of the 4th source's reliability. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:39, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
