- Delete - As per its previous outcome, the article was recreated and it seems that it contains the same problems and content, the company fails to meet GNG and fails to meet its specific guideline WP:CORP, more than its existence must be shown in order for it to be maintained within Wikipedia.

- Keep - IMHO a company of a substantial employment size (570 employees on LinkedIn alone) and revenue ($500mm claimed) is likely notable, and should have some sort of article on WP. Obviously this opens Pandora's box for their marketing department. Their common-word name makes researching the editorial coverage difficult, but there certainly is some (Reuters, BusinessInsider, the BusinessWeek listing). I was unaware of the 2010 AFD, and did the initial review when this article was re-added in late 2012. I cut back much of the hyperbole, which the marketing flacks have not challenged (not that there is none now). As such, I'm inclined to let it live, perhaps with some pruning. DGG was quite right to nix the CEO's article.--Nixie9✉ 17:55, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep but tag -- If the turnover is correct, this is certainly a notable company. The fact that the article is a poor one implies improvement, not deletion. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:16, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
