TAXI (advertising agency)

Delete and redirect to parent company Young & Rubicam. No content here worth preserving. Article consists entirely of advertising or a trade directory listing for one of a long list of subsidiaries of a larger firm, WPP. The parent company is likely notable, but most or all of the subsidiaries are overlapping and duplicative in function. There is no clear indication why this one is notable beyond various self-congratulatory listings in narrowly-targeted, industry-specific publications. Wikipedia is not a yellow page directory and not a suitable venue to promote a business. The solely laudatory tone is a violation of requirements for neutrality and nothing here is notable to anyone outside the industry. K7L (talk) 03:47, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. An article doesn't have to be deleted first before it is redirected, you know.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 06:22, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge selectively to Young & Rubicam. This article has hung around for years and never moved beyond a stub. There is, though, no reason not to merge some core information - principally what is in the lead - (each of the other subsidiaries have a short section) and the 2010 award would be worth a mention.
