Contested speedy. Non-notable company, no references that aren't from the company itself, couldn't find any additional ones either.  Grsz  talk  03:19, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * No references that establish notability.  Grsz  talk  21:43, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

 * "no references that aren't from the company itself" Blatantly false.  BBB, GSB, and ConsumerAffairs.com links are in the article -  http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2008/09/computer_credit.html, http://www.webcitation.org/5ZDDlLdjL, ...)  Notable.   Article achieves NPOV despite the divisive topic.--IReceivedDeathThreats (talk) 21:38, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Advertises on TV (like BlueHippo): http://ostria.whatsblog.net/The-first-blog-b1/Blue-Hippo-and-TronixCountry-b1-p13628.htm, http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=644157&st=0--IReceivedDeathThreats (talk) 22:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I've reformatted your contribution so it no longer displayed as an image -- anyone who wants to look at it can go to the URL above. In any case, I don't know what, exactly, you are trying to show by posting it.  The Google search hit merely shows that the company exists, which I don't believe anyone is disputing, but has nothing to do with whether it is notable, and whether it serves an encyclopedic purpose to have an article about it.

 * Speedy delete. It's still an A7 speedy, if you ask me. I don't see any assertion of notability or explanation of the importance of the company in the article. Advertising on TV is not any sort of distinction; so does the local coffee shop. I see no evidence that this is a notable company. --MCB (talk) 06:08, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete. Non-notable. Dayewalker (talk) 06:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as lacking notability. X MarX the Spot (talk) 07:05, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Most of the sources are simply advertisements and business listings of the sort that all businesses, notable and non-notable, use.  I'm not familiar with consumeraffairs.com, but the article on that source appears from its style to be a PR piece of some kind, too, and that's the only source that could even claim to meet WP:RS. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Additional From Consumer Affairs FAQ, it appears to be a site that publishes user-submitted articles, which would not meet WP:RS, and which makes me more convinced that the article on that site is company PR. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:15, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. It's very unlikely to be company PR, as the article, as a whole, is quite negative on the company's business model.  However, I agree that the site doesn't look sufficiently reliable.-- Kubigula (talk) 18:52, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Falls under CSD A7, as far as I can see.—  Dæ dαlusContribs /Improve 21:37, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
