 * Neutral leaning to Keep. Zumeo is the subject of an exclusive article by the major newspaper for its area of operation (the Mail Tribune). So it's certainly had some coverage in the news. Also, I myself, as well as other WikiProject Oregon editors, have rewritten the article signficantly. To suggest that it should be deleted because it violates our conflict of interest rules is patently false. That said, I don't think that Zumeo clearly meets the requirements of WP:CORP.

 * Keep - The article has issues, most of which I removed or moved to the talk page. There are at least two substantial idependant reliable sources that concern this site, so good enough. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 05:10, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * With respects, even the two sources read like adverts. They do not sound in the least as neutral. Is there such available? Perhaps some neutral comparison? Or something to show a special notability?  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 05:46, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Correction, there is one reliable source. The Mail Tribune is a long-respected paper in Oregon, it's definitely reliable. They certainly don't do business features like this for every new website or company in their region. But cheezhead.com is just a blog with no significant reputation for reliability, it clearly fails the requirements of WP:RS. Steven Walling (talk) 04:02, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, cheezhead.com is not a reiiable source. Apparantly CNBC radio did a profile on them.  I haven't listened to it yet, and they may not add it in time for this AfD. Read more on my talk page. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 08:05, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. A single reliable source does not constitute evidence of notability. Delete as lacking substantial coverage in reliable sources. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:13, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
