Compass (consulting)[edit]

It's an advert, not notable, and neglected. Wikipedia is not a directory. Secretagentwang (talk) 14:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence of notability that would meet the inclusion criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). — Satori Son 15:20, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notability is clear from the article. Worldwide 400+ employee management consulting firm founded and run by important expert and inventor to ply his trade, a key link in the development of the field. Article is supported by six seemingly reliable secondary sources, they simply happen to be offline. The presence of some unencyclopedic material in the article does not make it an advertisement. Take the material out and the article is just fine. Describing the key organizations that make up a field of business is not creating a directory listing, it's part of being an encyclopedia.

- According to the article, sure, but to who else? You can't cite the article itself for notability. Can anyone verify the six secondary sources? I'm checking the 2007 Vault guide, and Compass doesn't have an entry. Vault listings aren't necessarily the final word in notability, but they are for many management consultants.
