Delete, weakly. Note that this is about a New York and Los Angeles based service company specializing in dating coaching for men and women. It does have some coverage in reliable sources, but those would appear to be mostly human interest stories that do not establish that this business has enough historical, technical, or cultural significance to achieve long term historical notability. The sources seem rather inflated, and many are local access TV shows and commercial sites of various sorts, suggesting puffery. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:44, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: obvious ad, not enough to create notability. Dewritech (talk) 19:36, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This page has violated several key features of Wikipedia, including notability, Neutral-Point-of-View (NPOV), and long-term significance. I find it especially disingenious for Wikipedia to leave this article because it serves no value to anyone other than the company, which has paid to have the article edited in their favor. For that reason, as a self-promotional article, it should be deleted.--Screwball23 talk 20:44, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I had already listed and deleted two of the key people (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jordan Harbinger, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Johnny Dzubak), and this one is no better. Non-notable paid advert. Fails WP:CORP. Christopher Connor (talk) 03:52, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
