The San Jose Group

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested PROD. This reads like an advert, and looks like it fails WP:CORPDEPTH. I see quite a few Google Books hits in trade magazines and marketing books, but not enough for us to have an article on it, in my opinion. —  Mr. Stradivarius ♫ 07:43, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy delete WP:CSD unambiguous advertising + Delete as failing WP:CORP. Yet another advertising company implementing their "premier" and "leading" "social" blah-blah-blah spamming-Wikipedia-is-social-media whatever.  References fail under WP:CORPDEPTH: A quick search of the first few pages of Google News archives finds only one mention (a Chicago Tribune article) that might be of any substance; the rest is either the usual press release emission, or unrelated generic references to groups of people from towns named San Jose. --Closeapple (talk) 00:35, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
