Keep - Perhaps, users should lean towards spending their time expanding articles, improving them, and making them notable instead of tagging them for deletion. Maybe do a Google search and see if the business exists and then maybe try to establish notability that way. Perhaps, add a stub tag, or expand it and move on. It seems that if peoples' work and contributions are deleted that they will not want to contribute. --Remi01:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, what? I can't believe you would have the gall to even respond in such a manner. First of all, to assume that the above Wikipedians have NOT looked around for reliable sources to back up, or support the notability of this topic is a massive violation of WP:AGF. It's really offensive to even suggest such a thing. Google clearly supports the fact that this business exists - however, I cannot, as I would assume the other two contributors, find any reliable sources which back up notability! Furthermore, arguing for a "Keep" verdict, based on the fact that you have assumed bad faith about the actions of other Wikipedians is absurd in the extreme. As a result, I argue Delete, and urge you to strike your argument out. --Haemo01:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - when I search for an Oregon company at the Portland Business Journal website and get zero articles about a company, then I usually look no further. Instead I spend my time starting articles that demonstrate their notability to begin with using proper sources. The onus is on the editors who want to keep an article. Not every company/organization/thing in the universe gets an article, as outline in WP:WWIN. I spend a lot of time expanding articles to meet the notability requirments and normally support articles that are up for deletion, but articles like this hurt Wikipedia by allowing others to think articles like this are OK. If it is notable, add the sources and that's the end of the discussion. Otherwise it goes. Aboutmovies01:59, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not to be snarky but the same could be said for creators taking the time to make an attempt to assert notability and provide sources. I found few ghits outside of CHN's websites. I agree they exist, but see no notability.--killing sparrows01:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
