The company 37signals announced they were changing their name to Basecamp in February 2014. I moved the contents of the wikipage 37signals to a new wikipage Basecamp (company) and changed it to a REDIRECT page to Basecamp (company).

This is great work. Thank you.--Soulparadox (talk) 11:26, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

now this article has been wikified, there's not much to it. It seems logical to combine the two articles Rayman60 (talk) 03:49, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But it could be expanded. Comfr (talk) 04:56, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon me If I am violating any policies here. I have to Tag few admins and contributors here to know more and understand this matter. We have been facing this challenge from a long time on Wikipedia. Where people are just trying to make it Facebook, Newspaper, LinkedIn or some directory or blatantly used for Promotions or Press coverage.

• What really surpise me that everytime for some article we have to go through same discussion where nothing to discuss. Clear reality is there to delete the promotion from Wikipedia. But by advocacy or personal Ego or making it War zone, this efforts has been wasted.
• I need your help to know how we can make Wikipedia better. I am asking here as this article is going toward No consensus or Keep by baseless Press coverage.
• We have completely forgotten this? Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), [[1]]

• It seems to me that such a discussion should take place outside the realm of a specific article, and belongs either on
  WP:NOTPROMO is a policy, WP:Notability is a guideline, so it is a mixed bag. --Bejnar (talk) 02:51, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

• N.b. Note that the article was retained per the last two AfD discussions that occurred in 2016 and 2017. The first discussion in 2006 closed as no consensus. See the AfD template atop this page for more information. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:40, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• even the whole discussion points was for delete. vote counting happened. you mentioned PC magazine and business insider for notable media sources for building wikipedia article? that great! why we have biased for some articles? somewhere such sources become notable and other places its not. wikipedia does not consider them notable anyway. thanks.

• Pinging SoWhy, who closed the recent AfD discussion, regarding the notion of alleged "vote counting" above. The closer can address this better than I can here, since they closed the discussion. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:05, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(

WP:INDISCRIMINATE, which does not really fit here, none of those arguing for deletion could point to specific reasons why the sources mentioned were not independent enough to establish notability (just saying "they sound PR-y" does not really count). As such, I saw no policy-based reasons for deletion, resulting in the keep result. Regards SoWhy 07:07, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply
