An article on a small, long defunct company, created by an WP:SPA with a very obvious WP:COI. It was nominated for deletion shortly after its creation way back in 2006, but was kept, largely due to arguments by that same WP:SPA. Looking at the company now, it really does not meet the WP:GNG or WP:NCORP. Of the external links that were added from the last AFD, the only one I can still find online is this one from the AASCU, and the company is only mentioned in that article in a single sentence. Searching for any additional sources turned up very little - a couple of similar one-to-two sentence mentions in articles, and press releases. Rorshacma (talk) 19:09, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - Fails WP:ORGCRIT. A few book mentions but nothing that would add up to meeting WP:NCORP. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:28, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- The website has been defunct for a decade. I don't see any sources for it. Delete Oaktree b (talk) 20:33, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Utterly fails GNG/NCORP criteria for establishing notability, none of the sources I can locate come close. HighKing++ 15:51, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
