fails WP:CORP. just a small new company, supplied blog sources like this http://e27.co/coupay-raises-us500k-rewards-you-for-successful-sales-referrals/ do not establish notability. LibStar (talk) 06:42, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep Our company is notable and has reliable references available online, you can google it. One must have improved the article before deciding to delete it. I hired User:BiH here to create our Wiki entry. I was expecting him to respond on this discussion as we paid him over $80 so it was his duty to look after our page, but he did not respond and cleared my message on his talk page, that was really rude of him. This page is really necessary for our business. I am ready to pay any client here to improve our page. I am not asking anyone to breach Wikipedia guidelines but asking to improve our company's Wiki entry while respecting Wikipedia guidelines.

you need to provide reliable sources not tell us to find it through Google. If it is not notable you should not be using Wikipedia as a vehicle for advertising your business. Refer WP:SPAM and WP:COI. LibStar (talk) 04:22, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No readily available RS online, google showing its WP page, Facebook, and LinkedIn in its top results. If the page was constructed by someone paid to do so by the company this puts it high in the risks of WP:COI and WP:NPOV Amortias (T)(C) 16:19, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But when I was hiring User:BiH, he ensured me the page will be up without any issues and he told me that the references provided are reliable and qualifies our company to have a WP page. Emir is an experienced commercial Wikipedian that is why I trusted him and hired him. Please User:BiH respond here to get our page out of issues. Lucas McEntee (talk) 06:11, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment User:BiH is not connected to our business, we just hired him because we didn't know WP coding and we wanted someone to consult us about does our company qualifies to have a WP and to draft a content which is acceptable on Wikipedia. He showed us a list of WP pages he has created for different companies and there CEO so just for this task purpose I paid him for our Wikipedia page otherwise else he is not connected with our business by any means.

  • Comment If you can provide me some additional information that will help prove your companies notability on my talk page I'll see what I can do to improve it - success depends on the quality of the information given. Useful things would be articles from news organisations and other sources not directly rated to your company. No payment required as no promises but if it stays up a charitable donation would seem suitable. Amortias (T)(C) 17:50, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
