G5 (company)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable company that is nowhere near what should be notable on WP. It is created by what is essentially a SPA so it may be spam by stealth. To avoid WP becoming a business directory and giving unfair commercial advantage we MUST take a hard line on articles about commercial organisations. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 00:44, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It isn't about taking a "hard line", it is about notability. The handful of independent sources are just passing mentions on "fast growing" lists and the like. The "best" of them is a single sentence. The company is not yet notable. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 01:04, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that too but because of the company name I had trouble finding specific information. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 01:06, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We don't delete articles because of difficulty in searching, but because of lack of notability. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 04:31, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, yep. I know. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 18:47, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Alan, What would make a company notable enough to be included on Wikipedia? The company billed 20M+ last year and has several thousand clients. Would you like more references? More information? I'd like to be friendly and rather than delete the page entirely, try to fix what you'd like to make this page good enough to be included on Wikipedia. Please let me know what you think. -- JamesAllanMillerII 13:53, 22 January 2013

It must meet the notability guidelines. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 18:49, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
