• Delete - Advertisement. How did this page did I survive this long is the real question, not whether it should be deleted. CarniCat (meow) 05:23, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've been poking around using keywords like "industry-leading" and "best-of-breed" - pulls up dozens of pages like this. ;-) Corporate 05:29, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - This article is in need of cleanup and improvement. However that is not a valid reason for deletion, please re-read WP:NOTCLEANUP. Company passes WP:CORP. A few examples of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources include:
  • Indian social site Sulekha gets $10M from Norwest, VentureBeat
  • Sulekha merges Facebook and Craigslist in India, VentureBeat
  • A portrait of India, at home on the Web, The Austin American-Statesman (subscription required)
  • Sulekha to monetize on local commerce, The Economic Times
  • Sulekha.com opens office, The Hindu
  • Classified magic, The Financial Express

  I've never heard of this company before. Reading what reliable sources have to say about them, they seem to be a significant player in the Indian internet industry. -- Eclipsed (talk) (COI) 20:09, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep It does look like an advertisement but that does not mean a deletion, please place a clean-up tag and remove the promotion part. Pearll's Sun^TALK 20:02, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
