Commendo[edit]

Article makes no assertion of notability, fails WP:CORP. --Alan Au 21:29, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

External references being added. Hope these will meet the notability assertions. --Erik Hoogerhuis 22 September 2006
Keep. I see enough to satisfy WP:CORP, though feel the article is vanity cos, let's face it, it is written as a PR piece by Commendo and by Erik Hoogerhuis - part of company (0.9 probability), which is allowed, though inadvisable. The article is in need of a serious cleanup (I tried with the ext refs, and also killed the multiple links to the corporate website so it not passes WP:NOT a linkfarm), and wikification, but it and Commendo itself do qualify for their place here.

AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

Delete. Erik, all of the sources that you put in, in order: #1 is the corporate site, which is a primary source. Encyclopedias being tertiary sources do not use primary sources, being original research. However, it is okay as an external link. #2 and #10 is just a partner-program mention, which is considered a "trivial mention" under the verifiability criteria. #3 and #4 are real articles, but they too mention Commendo in passing (there was around 1-2 sentences on the company). Moreover #4 is directly from a Commendo employee, which is a primary source. #5 and #6 are wikis, not reliable (no fact-checking process at all). The press coverage is usually quoted from press releases issued by the company, and therefore is also a primary source. #7 and #11 are also only trivial mentions, and while #8 is a substantial article, it establishes the notability of Reynaldo Gil, not Commendo. What you need is a magazine or newspaper article whose subject is the company in question. ColourBurst 07:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
