Non-notable company lacking GHIts and GNEWS of substance. Article is supported by Press Releases.  ttonyb (talk) 02:25, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

I've submitted more potential sources supporting the notability of the company to the talk page of the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tri-State_Consumer_Insurance_Company

I also tried to make the case there that a google search for the company returns a number of discussion boards looking for information on the company, indicating its need for a page SamXMorris (talk) 00:52, 10 September 2010 (UTC) — SamXMorris (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment – Wikipedia articles must meet the criteria for Wikipedia based notability using reliable sources. The sources do not meet the criteria for reliable sources, the majority are Press Releases.  Wikipedia is not a venue to disseminate information about companies that do not meet Wikipedia defined criteria, the company should be able to do so using their own website.   ttonyb  (talk) 01:50, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Lacks sufficient sources to establish notability. On the talk page, User:SamXMorris and User:Dsforeman (both WP:SPAs) argue "A search for "TSC Direct" returns a number of message boards with users asking for information about the company. In my opinion, having a wikipedia article that collects all verifiable information about the company fills an important empty niche." and "When searching on Google for TSC Direct you see posts on Q&A sites and forums with many people are seeking information about the company and asking specifically if it is a legitimate business. A local NY insurance company with 100 million in assets is certainly notable and a Wikipedia article would provide valuable information for people who would otherwise have few other reliable sources of information." On the contrary, if the sources are not already there to be readily found on a Google search, that is an argument AGAINST including in it Wikipedia. We only put things here that can be verified by independent sources. --MelanieN (talk) 02:18, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
