WorkKeys

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article about a product is written entirely by the vendor. No sources cited that would establish notability - in fact, no sources cited at all. Text is plagiarized from that vendor's materials, e.g., from http://www.act.org/news/releases/2006/09-27-06.html. I don't believe that the WorkKeys assessment is notable; even if sources can be provided demonstrating its notability, the article would need to be re-written from the ground up to make it neutral.

 * Keep, but with significant cleanup. I noticed this AfD because I was aware of WorkKeys (although I knew nothing about it) before seeing the article -- up until a year or two ago, the state of Tennessee (where I live) required many high school students to take this test. It's still required by several states for various uses -- that's a strong basis for notability. The article (which has been in Wikipedia for a couple of years) was derived largely from vendor promotional materials, but that's a problem that can be resolved by rewriting. I've spent some time rewriting parts of the article -- and I've added some reference citations to third-party sources. I think that this can become an acceptable article with additional cleanup. --Orlady (talk) 04:59, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

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


 * Keep GBooks and Gnews both show substantial if somewhat limited coverage. Mangoe (talk) 17:45, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
