Company profiles in userspace[edit]

These userpages or subpages are all company profiles for companies that may or may not be notable. Each has been created by a user who is no longer active (has not edited in months) and/or has made few (if any) other contributions to Wikipedia. While hosting a potential article in userspace while developing it for an eventual move to the mainspace is perfectly acceptable, the pages below appear to be “abandoned” and may serve no purpose for Wikipedia. In contrast, they may be considered a means of mere advertising or a way to get around WP:CORP and get Wikipedia to host company profiles that otherwise wouldn’t be acceptable. -- Peacock (talk) 16:24, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]


  • Keep Mass deletions are not a wise course. And there is no requirement that a userpage be encyclopedic. Any which are identifiable directly as SPAM should be identified, not just presented as a list. Collect (talk) 16:57, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is not a valid use of the process, as these pages are not connected by a common contributor or part of a bigger whole that should be deleted. Instead they should be considered individually. I would invite PCock to withdraw the nomination. The few I checked had no reason to delete, resembling articles on companies under development and were not advertisement like. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:53, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • OK, I'll consider them individually. Peacock (talk) 22:03, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
