Reads like an advertisement, created by someone named, so likely a WP:COI issue. No third-party coverage, not even pertinent hits on Google News Archive. Sandstein 14:53, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The profusion of external links throughout the article is very suspicious. YechielMan 20:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I amended the article many times which is noticeable through the versions’ history. The article is still in the editing process. The page was built with reference to the articles published in the Wikipedia. We made sure that the format of the page is consistent with the way the pages are constructed and written in the Wikipedia. I think that this organization is essential for posting on Wikipedia. I would like to re-assure that we are still working on modifying it until it meets the Wikipedia policy. I don’t think that having too many external links currently on our page should cause a problem since there exists many articles on Wikipedia that contain many external links such as Aramco, Aurther Andersen and others. Those articles were not deleted or nominated for deletion. We preferred to mention the whole organization companies and give them the links from this page than create for each company a page on the wikipedia. We will also mention third party links that talk about TAGorg. If, for any other reason, you think that our article is still nominated for deletion; please assist us by providing the methods that we can use to develop the content better to certify your needs. TAGorg is one of the largest global organizations. It is very essential to have it published on the Wikipedia.

 * Delete It may be acceptable for inclusion, but in its current form, it looks like an advertisement. If it is deleted, I would suggest trying again at the drawing board. As for "Aramco, Aurther Andersen and others" WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is not a good reason to keep. Each article is judged here on its own merits. Mr.Z-man  talk ¢ Review! 02:26, 31 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I think that it is acceptable after remove the external links and reformat it.--Janty 08:01, 31 March 2007 (UTC) — Janty (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Speedy delete per criterion WP:CSD. It exists solely to promote its subject.--cj | talk 17:47, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep provided some more real references are provided for tits many claims. At the moment, the only truly 3rd party source is Jordan Business Magazine. If the company has engaged in all  the project claimed, then their should be sources from other countries as well. It is not links to customers and agencies which is necessary--it is some additional  documentation providing support for listing them.  I've done a little editing, but there is still much duplication. Each client or project should be mentioned only once. DGG 22:45, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, spam. --Mus Musculus 20:36, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Amendment I mentioned some of global resources (others than Jordan) in the references section, you can notice that most of the information mentioned here is cited from these resources. --TAGITI 05:26, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete: I'm a finance manager from Jordan, I know this firm. While it is one of the big firms in Jordan, and it does have branches in the region, the article contains many representations. To mention two: There is no way the firm has 1400 employees, and why would 50% of the fortune 500 leave international consulting companies and big four firms, and go hire a firm from Jordan!
