American Agencies[edit]

nn company subject to nn legal dispute. Page as written is hopelessly PoV of one of the parties in the dispute FRS 22:37, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The BBB's rating would seem to be a statement of fact. It can hardly be called PoV... No vote. — ceejayoz ^talk 22:39, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This BBB (for Southern California) has 34 Collection Agencies listed of which nine are (like the subject of this article) ranked 'F'. None of the 34 are listed in WP and the only reason I can imagine that this one has an article is that the anonymous user that posted the article has an axe to grind against the company. I think its a bad idea to allow an article like this, b/c to make it NPOV would practically eliminate its already miniscule content or would require adding "balancing" company PoV material that is interesting to no one DeleteFRS 00:30, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No vote just yet. Page as written is highly POV. Yet collection agency with clients including SBC Yahoo may be notable.—Gaff ^ταλκ 22:55, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Not PoV (as per ceejayoz), therefore no valid criteria for deletion. TheMadBaron 08:17, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I deleted the verbatim quote from the BBB that is probably a copyvio, and anyway is redundant to the BBB link, and added a summary of and link to the actual court opinion that dismissed the lawsuit against this company. I still favor deleting this article b/c the company and the lawsuit lack notability, and I'm against using WP to publicize (non-notable) lawsuitsFRS 20:17, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
