Minimal gnews/ghits. Does not pass WP:GNG or WP:MILL as far as I can see. OSbornarfcontribs. 13:03, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

The company have come out with a groundbreaking piece of research (nobody before them have calculated the cost of complexity), in a field which is increasingly of interest. I have seen their research covered in Top Consultant, on CNBC and in the Sunday Times, but I could not find anything about them on Wikipedia. I am studying this area for my Masters dissertation. To conclude, I feel that this article meets with the notability criteria and I believe that groundbreaking research in an important area of business should not be regarded as run of the mill. Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shakibai (talk • contribs) 13:14, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Were an article created about the Global Simplicity Index instead of this business, it might pass notability scrutiny; the one independent source is about the index, and mentions the business that made it only in passing.  The article on complexity management itself is quite awful right now as well, and needs to be turned into English in places (Fact based transparency over the costs of complexity as well as its value is created along the entire value chain.)  All of these tasks are encyclopedia subjects in a way this particular firm is not, and frankly we'd be happy to have someone studying the field improve them.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 21:58, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Would you be happy if I created a Global Simplicity Index article, and updated the complexity management page accordingly, instead of this Simplicity Partnership page? I agree that the Complexity Management page at the moment is completely inadequate and this piece of research would really add to the quality of information within wikipedia on this topic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.156.176.190 (talk) 14:18, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * By all means go ahead. You can't break anything beyond our capacity to fix it. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:20, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
