Contested PROD read: WP:NOTABILITY - of the three references provided, only the Inc. blog is not simply a mention of the company in an About The Author item. (Also has the strong scent of promo to it; article had previously been attempted to be created under the name of company founder; this time has a first-time user.)

"Keep" All suggested edits to page have been changed and replaced out. Please consider removing removal tag. Any advertorial type language has been deleted and replaced. References changes to valid sites. External links changed to valid sites which support legal document filing industry topics. ABKS (talk) 15:22, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete for WP:NOTABILITY. Only one of the references in article qualifies as a WP:RS and talks about the subject (the Inc. blog entry). (The Franchise King is a WP:SPS, the BlogWorld site is one for an expo they were displaying at, and is the sort of promo article that gets run in the show bulletin for those paying for booth space.) I have sought to strip out the more hyperiffic portions of the article. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:57, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Keep" Will work on gathering more prolific references to add in replace of BlogWorld article. -ABKS —Preceding unsigned comment added by ABKS (talk • contribs) 16:46, 3 May 2011 (UTC) ABKS (talk) 15:22, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Kee" Added two new references - Small Business Trends that features an interview with Nellie Akalp and Succeed As Your Own Boss which features an interview with Philip Akalp. Both notable and trusted small business outlets. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ABKS (talk • contribs) 17:24, 3 May 2011 (UTC) ABKS (talk) 15:22, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The Akalps are not the subject of the article, CorpNet.com is. Something like Succeed As Your Own Boss which only mentions CorpNet.com in a brief bio of the author or guest does not establish notability. --Nat Gertler (talk) 17:35, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Keep" Removed reference of Succeed as your Own Boss in article per the above editor suggestion. Will work on adding other notable reference. Please consider removing page delation tag. - ABKS —Preceding unsigned comment added by ABKS (talk • contribs) 13:41, 4 May 2011 (UTC) ABKS (talk) 15:22, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Keep" Added new reference, review of the company, and also added text to history. ABKS (talk) 15:53, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Delete" for WP:COMPANY. Fails to meet critera as a stand alone article for scope of activities. Also appears to be self-written and links to an affilliate company WP:ADVERT. Mariepr (talk) 01:35, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Note: I have struck the repeated !votes from the article's creator above. One !vote per person, please. --Kinu t/c 06:47, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I see press releases, self-published sources, and other blog-style posts of dubious reliability. I can find no significant coverage from WP:RS to show why the company meets WP:CORP, fails WP:GNG. --Kinu t/c 06:49, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Added new references from notable outlets mentioning CorpNet.com to meet WP:CORP. Edited content and removed 'dubiously reliable' source. ABKS (talk) 12:55, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
