This article fails WP:ORG. Any factual well sourced corporate details could be easily merged into the main article WPP Group (at the moment this sub-company does not appear to be mentioned). The article has been tagged for reliable sources for over 25 months with no sign of notability being addressed. I find one match in Google News about winning a contract but nothing that addresses specific notability to establish this sub-company as needing its own article. I note the list of campaigns they have contributed to but a number of companies would be involved in such campaigns supplying varied services and do not all become notable in an encyclopaedic sense as a consequence.

- Merge to WPP Group. If kept, Rename to Rainy Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Young & Rubicam. In WP we do not like abbreviations. I thought this was going to be some abolished railway comapny until I looked at the article. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:29, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete. The number of major adverts they have contributed to certainly counts in their favour. It might be possible to form an encyclopaedic article, but there's so many WP:NPOV and WP:ADVERT problems you'd have a hell of ajob salvaging any of this. However, I'd be quite happy to give fresh consideration to a better-written article on the same subject. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 11:42, 16 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
