Save the date (event planning company)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Reads like an advertisement. Also, the external links take you to articles with nothing to do with Save the Date.

User:lkutaj Every link within this article references Save the Date. You might actually have to read the entire article instead of speedily scanning them and then marking this for deletion.

Also, the page does not read like an ad - it was done in the format of other event planning company Wikipedia pages which are live: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Consulting_LA and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_Affairs_(Event_Planning_and_Production_Company) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lkutaj (talk • contribs) 22:15, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - the tone is a bit ad-copyish but the organization would seem to pass the notability threshold - although I would like to see greater depth as to why this company is notable. Eddie.willers (talk) 15:06, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, strongly. The "references" added establish that the business exists, but they fail entirely to establish that this business has encyclopedic significance.  Appearances in a list of wedding planners, an anecdote about the hiring process, or a side mention in an article about the low pay of interns do not establish that this business has had any significant effect on history, technology, or culture. And thanks for the tip about those other non-notable businesses.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:29, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - Good nomination. completely against WP:Advertising and no notability whatsoever. --SulmuesLet's talk 16:12, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:ADVERT. Sources currently listed in the article do not pass WP:RS nor do they establish notability.  An observation on both the original author and the nominator:  First, the author: The original author's first edit is this, which hints (but proves nothing) that this editor could work for an advertising agency and be attempting to "advertise" for this company by increasing their web presence.  He/she sure seems to know a lot about it.  Also note another article this user created: Jennifer Gilbert (founder of Save the Date).  Their whole contribution history looks suspicious.  Next, the nominator: this article was nominated for deletion two minutes after it was created.  That kind of behavior is disruptive and is specifically discouraged in the instructions at the top of Special:Newpages, where you presumably found this article.  Please give editors a chance (i.e. a couple of hours, at a bare minimum) to create the article before you nominate it for deletion.  Feel free to tag it with cleanup tags when it is first created, and then maybe come back the next day and nominate it if it hasn't been improved.  Better yet, patrol new pages from the back of the queue.    Snotty Wong   yak 23:51, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep it seems as it is a notable company because it mentioned in Time and Inc --Mohamed Ouda (talk) 16:34, 15 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:SPAM. The only reason anyone outside of NYC has heard of it is because its owner was on The Real Housewives of New York City. TomCat4680 (talk) 22:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
