I tagged this article with {{Afd}} for 2 reasons, the article is somewhat promotional and has some sentences in inappropriate tense, and an article of this size cannot be held up by just 2 citations. These issues are borderline enough for me not to put a DB-A7-G11 double-bomb on the article, so I did this instead. Note: This is my first afd nomin., so if I am not right please correct me.

- Comment: Just for your knowledge, of the two reasons you list, one surely makes no sense. That "the article is somewhat promotional and has some sentences in inappropriate tense" is definitely NOT a reason to go to AfD, let alone speedy deletion. AfD is not cleanup, and our deletion policy tells us that if an article can be fixed by editing, then we must fix it, not delete it. Please remember that. I'll have a look at notability. --Cyclopiatalk 21:56, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I can find very little on Google Books/News in English language (this is the only significant), but I suspect a Malaysian-language search could give a different result. --Cyclopiatalk 22:02, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, should I remove the AFD and put a cleanup tag there instead? Passengerpigeon (talk) 00:01, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know if removing the AFD is the right thing to do -after all, there are indeed sourcing/notability problems. I just wanted to make it clear that style issues are never, ever a reason to delete anything. --Cyclopiatalk 10:03, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I understand now. Passengerpigeon (talk) 10:47, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete G12. The nominator's concerns come from blatant copyright infringement. The article was copied two of the companies websites and a news article. So tagged. • Gene93k (talk) 00:05, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
