Criteria for inclusion?
A couple of follow-up notes on establishing notability for this company...

If looking at wp:org, the closest relevant requirement would seem to be the one for non-commercial organizations, although whether or not this particular entity is for-profit or not-for-profit is not clear. In any event, this seems relevant: "The organization’s longevity, size of membership, or major achievements, or other factors specific to the organization may be considered." From one of the columns linked above, I think this comes into context:
 * "Our biggest success financially this year was helping to get getting a customer P10,000 compensation for a car he bought that turned out not to be exactly what he'd been told. However, we've also got people free meals in compensation for disasters, refunds of bank charges, replacements for goods that were faulty or generally not fit for their purpose and even free ice cream."
 * All positive achievements and accomplishments, certainly. But encyclopedic?

With a bit more novelty, applying wp:creative as you would probably apply to a consumer advocate journalist, would require that the organization be "regarded as an important figure or [be] widely cited by their peers or successors" or require the organization to have "won significant critical attention." While other stuff exists, it seems like Consumer Watchdog (Botswana) appears to be a collective identity for what you might consider a consumer advocate journalist, which, unusually, might appear to collect a contingency fee for the financial recoveries it is able to assist with. Again, encyclopedic?

I think I've said too much, already, so I'll shut up now. user:j   (aka justen)   09:36, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
