Reason

Exactly the sort of embarrassing article that Britannica would laugh at us over. Unreferenced short stub, not sure it qualifies for its own article.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:04, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: A little over 36 hours between creation and AFD nomination on a first creation by a user seems bitey to me. I would note that no welcome mat and information to the creator of the article had been made. I have welcomed the user and informed them of this AFD.

Sorry, I just noticed that it was a recent article, I assumed it was a stale old one, should have checked. Sitll I don't think it is notable and should be deleted. An Israeli company, not even Britannica related though as I'd thought...♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:28, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete I did what I could for the article, but I had a significant challenge to find any reputable non-PR sources for why the company is important. Hasteur (talk) 03:26, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Regardless of any rivalry with the Britannica, this is a provider of "solutions" that still leaves us mostly in the dark as to what they actually do. Yet another online business with a vague description: Britannica Knowledge Systems provides web-based training and readiness management solutions for organizations of any size and type. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:04, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
