no indication of WP:Notability. Sources given are either not WP:reliable sources or trivial mentions. Article created by an editor with an apparent WP:conflict of interest. Google searches reveal nothing of significance to back up claims noq (talk) 23:59, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG The only sources I could find where which isn't enough for significant coverage and another website which I can't link because of the spam filter which has a passing mention. Possibly a small mention here too  although it's behind a paywall. No mention in books, not even a passing mention (which is surprising). I could find nothing else  about a company that is said to have existed for 25 years. IRWolfie- (talk) 22:35, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

All the information on the article proposed for deletion is true and completely reliable. There is notability and clearly reliable sources which back up the information. Again, all the information is completely true and not in any way biased or influenced by opinion.
 * Comment Copied from the talk page:

Walford Wilkie is a real company that advises companies on marketing, and it is true that they have successfully helped Red Bull, TAG Heuer and Veuve Clicquot. This information is testified in both the LinkedIn and IPA profiles in the external links. There is also a link to the official Orange National Business Awards proving that Walford Wilkie was a 2011 finalist.

I think this is sufficient evidence that the information is reliable and that there is no conflict of interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.27.132 (talk • contribs)


 * CommentThe IPA and Linkedin references are like the companies own website, provided by the company and so are not independent WP:reliable sources. The other link just has one line naming the company, so not significant coverage. noq (talk) 11:36, 21 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - No significant coverage about this company to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 19:19, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Topic doesn't meet WP:GNG. There's a few hits: New store for Holts, Spectator boosts direct marketing, "The consultancy Walford Wilkie gained recognition for its work in helping Boodles evolve from provincial family jeweller to an internationally recognised brand,"Jenny Hirschkorn on measurable success stories across the sectors November 5, 2011. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 00:31, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
