This is a contested deletion. The article is about a recent startup and has no sources other than the company's own website, and I believe it is unsourceable. If this were a recently created article, it probably would have been shot on sight. I was told to come to you guys, and the following conversation ensued:
- If I go to afd, how will you vote? Maybe we could just skip that step .. I don't want to get into some deletion process if there is a good reason to keep these after all.[1]
- Well there are rules that state no original research. but there is also a rule that states if a source can be referenced, it should not be deleted. so I will vote no for delete. Remember we are trying to create an encyclopedia i.e. the sum of all human knowledge. [2]
- Do you mean that you think we can reference a source? Which one(s)?[3]

- DeleteOnly the first 2 sentences are worthy of wikipedia. The rest is unsubstantiated and possibly not true (unless you say I have ties to Harvard and Stanford because I've seen the place). Even more reason to delete because it has been around for a year with no improvement. If it was there only a week, then there's a chance that the editor will improve it.A880M 18:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
