 * Keep - This appears to be a well-known architecture firm in India. Although WP:ORG would appear to be the appropriate guideline for notability, in this case, I would argue that WP:CREATIVE is more fitting.  As an architectural firm, they would be noted for their projects.  There is this substantial Times of India article specifically about the firm's founder.  Articles about various significant projects such as the Wankhede Stadium include the firm or the founder in the article, such as this one, and in particular, this article describes him as "noted architect Shashi Prabhu". -- Whpq (talk) 13:43, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The first article is about Mr. Prabhu, but not about his company -- the article being discussed for deletion is about the company. The second article that is cited only mentions Mr. Prabhu in a single sentence. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:00, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete Whether Mr. Prabhu is notable or not, this company most certainly isn't. It fails every guideline we have for companies and organizations. A shame the original prod was removed, because it never should've made it this far.  Enigma msg  05:32, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Rename to Shashi Prabhu Convinced by the comments below.  Enigma msg  05:07, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep and rename to Shashi Prabhu The article could do with less focus on the company and more on the architect, but designing notable buildings is part of what makes an architect notable. Since the first article is about Prabhu it's a perfect source. The second is too. It doesn't matter how long the mention is, it matters what it says. (To name an extreme example: If you have an article that mentions Barack Obama in one sentence but that sentence states he is the US president, it's still a relevant source) - Mgm|(talk) 09:41, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Here is some more evidence of notability as an architect. This article identifies him as "renowned architect Shashi Prabhu", and this article is all about the design of Wankhede stadium quoting him about its design.  And as Mgm points out, if the issue is that these are focused on the man and not the company, then we can simply rename the article. -- Whpq (talk) 09:52, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename per MacGyverMagic. He appears notable and I got a lot of relevant Google hits.  The articles linked by Whpq seem to be good evidence of notability as well. -FaerieInGrey (talk) 11:08, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Note I have edited this article, disenspamifying it to some extent and adding some references. These are some large building projects. pablo hablo.
 * Keep and rename per Mgm - the article should bear his name only as his seems to be the credit on his company's works. pablo hablo. 23:44, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
