Shredit[edit]

Borderline advertisement. The soruces (sic) for this article verify the company exists, and provided the shredding services for Shredding Day, but I say that if this is the only claim to notability then it's a pretty poor one. Reyk _YO! 00:49, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A7 Supplying the services for Shredding Day is not really an assertation of notability. Plus, they're a division of a red linked company (how many more links to red link can I add?). Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!)} 01:42, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and move to Shred-it. Notable international company with tonnes of news coverage. [1], e.g. this article in the San Francisco Chronicle. Easily qualifies for WP:CORP Pburka (talk) 01:52, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment That seems to be the only news source directly about the company, at least among the ones I saw. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!)} 02:01, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are quite a few about local franchises. Here's another one (from AP) which has some substantial coverage: [2]. Here's one from the New York Times[3]. I found that this search yielded more relevant results: [4]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pburka (talk • contribs)

Shred-it is an industry leader and one of the leading secure mobile paper shredding companies in Canada. Wikipedia currently has a listing for Iron Mountain also a paper shredding and storage company (they are the world's largest), but there listing is of even less notability.

The sponsorship of Shredding Days, helps prevent Identity Theft and provides a public service and this organization should be recognized for it. This is why I believe this listing should not be deleted.

Here are some additional news articles referencing this company

Keep per Kology's and Pburka's sources. The article needs cleanup and expansion, but I'm now convinced that it doesn't need to be shredded itself. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!)} 19:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
