Subject is marketing company. Some discussion in the Guardian and other places but not enough to constitute "significant coverage". Article reads like advert. Fails WP:ORG. Christopher Connor (talk) 01:57, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy delete and salt. This is also blatant advertising: an online marketplace that allows anyone anywhere on the planet with access to the Internet to pitch their ideas in response to companies’ specific creative needs". The concept, based on a crowdsourcing model, is also known as a “Pitching Engine”.... founded and launched .... with the idea of providing brands with more creative solutions through the use of crowdsourcing. "Crowdsourcing"? Give me a break.
Note also that the current text, while not identical to the previously deleted version, does nothing to address the issues that led to this article being deleted twice before, the last after full AfD hearing. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:31, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment It's the same article, but it added a couple "credible" sources [1] [2] and written in a _slighty_ more encyclopaedic manner, but they just requote the CEO. It's a very close speedy. It doesn't appear to be a A7 or G11 though. RN 17:52, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
