No notability for this MLM company is asserted beyond an Alexa rating, which to the best of my knowledge is deprecated as evidence of notability because of google-bombing by porn sites. Google News/Books return no useful results and no reliable sources were found upon a search. Ubelowme _U ^Me 19:41, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete No verifiable and reliable independent third party sources with significant coverage. Dori ☾Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 21:27, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. While I declined speedy deletion of this article on the Alexa ranking grounds, as that's a legitimate "claim of importance", as Ubelowme states, it's not evidence of notability. I also can't find any references other than blogs and PR pieces. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:16, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Sorry if I wasn't clear; I agree with Qwyrxian that the Alexa ranking cite is a legitimate claim of importance sufficient to decline a speedy deletion nomination, but it's not worth much beyond that. Ubelowme _U ^Me 01:56, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Google News provided nearly all press releases and Google News archives provided this small mention. Google archives also found additional press releases here, here and here. I also found two epostmedia.com links here and here that promote their achievements rather than significant content. The second page also provided this promotional press release and this equally promotional link (the link mentions their Alexa ranking). Unfortunately, considering that nearly all of the relevant links are either promotional, press releases or both, this company is not notable. SwisterTwister talk 06:05, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
