Ion Global Ltd

As far as I can tell it's not terribly notable. The Google test gives about 176 hits. The only thing I can say is that because their clients win Webby Awards, it may be notable. Anyway, putting this to AFD for the community to decide. - Ta bu shi da yu 13:00, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Roundabouts 200 Google hits seems very poor for a "web development and online marketing company". Haukur 14:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator. Simply because business associates and/or clients of a firm are notable does not mean that the company itself is guaranteed inclusion in Wikipedia. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 21:09, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I am the creator of this article. Please reconsider this entry as it is currently under construction. Ewc21 09:19, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Doesn't seem like an organization that's notable enough for an encyclopaedia. Zaxem 11:32, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:CORP unless verifiable sources added to establish notability. Stifle (talk) 11:59, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To address the first two comments about the low number of Google hits, searches should not necessarily include the "Ltd" at the end since Ion Global is not known as an "Ltd" company all of the world. It markets itself most of the time just as Ion Global to ensure it covers all international entities. The search with "Ion Global" alone, which is more accurate, produces 16,500 Google hits.
- Actually, that's a good point. It does appear that without the Ltd that the Google test shows more hits. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:34, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - It is a good point and it suggests that, if kept, the article should be moved.

I can create another article without "Ltd" and move all contents there. Please advise. Ewc21 00:44, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Why not just use the move button? - Ta bu shi da yu 06:45, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete We need to be careful with articles like this, which could be construed as adverts. Runcorn 21:08, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I respect your thought but I am making this article an information page about the company rather than advertising it. More details about history than about services and no contact information is provided in the page. Ewc21 00:44, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
