Frankel group[edit]

None of the sources listed are reliable sources which would give this company notability, and I can't find anything that discusses this company in great depth, so it likely fails WP:CORP. There is also a clear conflict of interest with the creator of the article, who is now blocked, and it is also more than likely they have also created Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barry frankel.

Delete per nom. Also, I could find no mention at all, let alone prominent, in the ref to the World Stem Cell Summit.Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:44, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

**Also, with the article on the Mr. Frankel himself speedily deleted, another article from the same WP:SOAP editor is Devyn Smith. This one has had its speedy tag removed by an admin, I think for good reason. It looks like Smith may have done notable research. I've advised the editor to rewrite to focus more on that and less on corporately promoting the Frankel Group and Mr. Frankel.

Delete Agree with clear conflict of interest it was created by Frankelgroup Frozenevolution (talk) 18:32, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I also agree with the COI issue, however, that in and of itself is not grounds for deletion. An article that fails to document why the company in question is notable is. I imagine that the page for General Motors could have been first created by an employee of said corporation, but that doesn't make it any less notable. §FreeRangeFrog 18:43, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
delete I see no evidence of extensive coverage in reliable secondary sources, either in the article, or in my own on-line searches. Pete.Hurd (talk) 18:49, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
