Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CallMe Communications
Article does not meet WP:CORP notability criteria
From what I can see, the organisation is possibly a non-notable going concern as a mobile phone dealer or possibly a new startup yet to begin operations. From my research, I can make the following notes.
- Organisation's website
Amongst the products said to provided by the organisation are an extensive range of Internet products - ranging from basic Internet Access, business-grade Internet Access, through to Hosting and other such services - you would expect the organisation's own website as linked in the article to at least have a basic overview of services. It remains nothing but a placeholder page saying "Under Construction". I'm not aware of any internet service provider that doesn't have at least a basic product listing on its website.
- Other websites
Similarly, you would expect at least a few hits on the greater World Wide Web. Known listing websites such as Broadband Choice allow ISPs to self-register and yet, at the time of writing, there is no listing for Callme Communications.
Searching Google for CallMe Communications delivers 38 results. From this I can see:
- Wikipedia hits
- Discussion board hits, all of which identify the posters as being staff or principals of CallMe Communications, ie. self-promotion. In all cases, these are for the mobile telephony products.
- Indication that CallMe resells Think Mobile serivces, out of an address in Heatherton, a suburb of Melbourne, not the CBD as claimed in the article.
- Indication that CallMe participates in an Australian mobile-phone recycling scheme, again at Heatherton.
- Telephone Directory
The organisation is not listed in the Yellow Pages. The organisation is listed in the White Pages, at the suburban address.
- Newspaper Archives
John Fairfax Holdings, publishers of The Age and Sydney Morning Herald newspapers, provide a searchable archive that extends back over ten years, before the existance of Callme. Basic search results are available for free, only displaying the full article attracts a fee. Searching the entire archive for callme gets only one result, an article that is over 18 years old.
- Author's own admission
The original article author (prior to the page being speedy-deleted twice as spam) noted at User talk:W.marsh#Deletion of CallMe Communications that their motivation for the article was to attract attention to the organisation. This author also identifies themself as a principal or employee of the organisation in the notes page of the organisation's logo image.
- More minor notes
The article still contains many glaring items that appear to be either false or misleading. These have been slowly toned down over the last couple of days, but many remain. For example, the organisation is referred to as "CallMe Communications Pty. Ltd." implying it is an Australian company. If this was the case, it would be in the National Names Index on the Australian Securities and Investment Commission website. My searches there and on the Australian Business Register] indicate that "CallMe Communications" (without the Pty. Ltd.) is a registered business name in Victoria and has an ABN, in the form of a Family Partnership.
The article also states the organisation is a telecommunications carrier and heavily implies it is actually a provider of infrastructure, not a reseller. In Australian telecommunications there is a distinction between a carrier and a service provider. The distinction is whether or not the organisation actually provides carriage service over physical infrastructure or radiofrequency spectrum of their own, or if they resell carriage service from others. Carriers must be licenced and will be listed on the List of licenced carriers on the Australian Communications and Media Authority website.
In my view, the article infringes WP:CORP, WP:SPAM, WP:V, WP:NPOV and WP:COI policies, is unsalvagable and should be deleted.
One of the citations added to the article tonight also doesn't satisfy WP:NOR
