The result was speedy delete as copyvio. Whether there is a chance of notability or not, there would have to be a total rewrite done, and revdel or oversight of the copyright material. Easier to delete and wait for fresh action. Peridon (talk) 20:51, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article about a commercial organization has been a STUB for about a year. It has several problems that would normally lead to Speedy Deletion under the reasons listed below, yet having read the one and only reliable source by the guardian it seems the company may be notable if only within the geography of India and possibly the UK. I think this article may be salvageable by a WP editor who is familiar with India. Also, an article of the same name was was deleted by PROD in Feb-2012 (so this cannot be PROD'd again per WP:PRODNOM) but I cannot see if that page was the same topic as this is (there are several DAB's on this name). An admin may want to look it up and see who/what was involved in that process.

So, I am putting this up for AfD to see if it can/should be salvaged. If it can there is also the potential issue that the article's creator may have a

conflict of interest
and will need guidance to prevent issues there.

REASONS (again, these would normally be CSD reasons but looking at the big picture CSD seems not the right process for this particular article):

  • No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events)
    • More correctly insufficient indication of importance. At least one additional reliable source is needed to meet WP:Notability requirements.
  • Unambiguous advertising or promotion
    • This article, as written, seems to be promoting the company. This may be inadvertent unless the involved editors have a conflict of interest.
  • Unambiguous copyright infringement
    • The text is a verbatim copy from the company's website linked in the article. This may be COI or it may be just an inexperienced user (
      WP:AGF
      ).
