- Delete per nomination; another public relations business using Wikipedia as a free ad host. Google News results are remarkably sparse, and reveal that the various sources cited but not linked in text are a series of incidental mentions in unrelated stories. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:46, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as sheer WP:PROMO and WP:ADVERT that fails WP:CORP and WP:GNG. Qworty (talk) 19:44, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't Delete Would be fair enough if this policy was applied consistently but a casual browse through Wikipedi would throw up many pages very similar but somehow OK. Why, for instance, is Clout Communications less worthy than, say, Freud Commuications - which I used as a model (as advised by Wikipedia editing guidelines). I noted that Clout was no more or less notable, no more or less a puffery, than Freud and others - so what is the issue. The issue is, purely and simply, value judgments and not a transgression of the spirit or academic credentials of Wikipedia edits. Value Judgments bring Wiki into disrepute as much as any alleged commercialism and damage its reputation as a good source. There is no advertising no any commercial value whatsoever in clout Communications or most of the others. It is a simple statement of factual accuracy and has no commercial value whatsoever to anyone involved. Anyone who says that simply does not understand how a PR firms works - they don't need to advertise. Picknick99 (talk) 10:19, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
