- Intellicus (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
This nearly-5KB article does very little to establish notability of the company it's devoted to (and I mean "devoted" in the biblical sense - this article is borderline G11), mentioning (without any citations to back this assertation up) that "NASSCOM and Red Herring have recognized Intellicus as an innovative and fast emerging technology company" - something which could be anything from a write-up on the company to mere inclusion in a list of recently-emerging companies in the tech sector. I suspect that the article may well be a copyvio of an off-line publicity guide, but cannot prove this mere gut feeling of mine. The main contributor to this article (INTLCS (talk · contribs)) is a pretty obvious conflict-of-interest. Google returns slightly more than 1,500 results, the first fifty of which seem to be either the company's own press releases, or mirrors of Wikipedia. 1,500 results may sound like a lot, but a search for the phrase "duck chat" - as a phrase, mind you - returns nearly the same amount of results. At least I have some leads if I ever want some one-on-one with a dandy waterfowl. Returning back to the article at hand - keep in mind that those open-press releases and Wiki-mirrors are the fifty best matches. The Goggle algorithm may not be flawless, but somehow I doubt there's a great source buried twenty pages deep. If there is, I'm sure the AfD process will weed it out. As this stands, at best, this is a company hanging out at the very fringe of notability whose article would need a complete, from-the-ground-up rewrite before it is suitable for the project.

- Weak keep there is a factual basis in the article tat describes the company & its products, so it is not G11, but the importance need to be shown by some information about notability of the products, or market share or revenue. DGG (talk) 20:41, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete. Using the phrase business intelligence solutions ought to be a dead giveaway. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 23:13, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy delete (G11) — Spam. Reads like some sort of a corporate overview that ends with a bulleted PowerPoint presentation of its features. (You know, those meetings.) It needs an overhaul just to get rid of the spammish tone alone. MuZemike (talk) 03:39, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- All that is neccesary is to run the bot for taking out the word "solutions" and replace by something random. Fixes a lot of spam. The standard for G11 is incapable of being improved. DGG (talk) 04:02, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This content doesn't belong here. --Lockley (talk) 23:12, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, not a G11, for the reasons that DGG has gone into above, but still a non-notable company. Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:57, 31 October 2008 (UTC).[reply]
