• 11:1011:10, 4 January 2015 diff hist +415 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/McFarlane Sports Picks Article being too long or badly written are not valid arguments for deletion.

• 20:1720:17, 2 January 2015 diff hist +991 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Opus Software Solutions I think we can safely now say that product notability does not equal company notability. So now the question is, where is direct the in depth coverage of the company? I can't see it. Hence my delete nomination.

• 08:4308:43, 31 December 2014 diff hist +231 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries Yes there is definitely an argument for covering the individuals not the company.
• 08:3008:30, 31 December 2014 diff hist +1,202 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Opus Software Solutions It's not a matter of renaming the article. If it was about one product it would be a different article. No guideline says a notable product equals a notable company. I imagine I will have to repeat this! Seem pointless.

• 20:1520:15, 30 December 2014 diff hist +1,541 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Opus Software Solutions I have to repeat what I said because some people enjoy saying "this is essentially what you said" - Umm no.. What I said is what I said. Other people can read what I said without your rephrasing!!
• 18:5618:56, 30 December 2014 diff hist +898 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Opus Software Solutions I have never said the product is notable and even if it is that doesn't make the company notable
• 13:0913:09, 30 December 2014 diff hist +228 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Opus Software Solutions ElectraCard is not the topic. Opus Software is.
• 13:0113:01, 30 December 2014 diff hist +3 m Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Opus Software Solutions No edit summary
• 12:5912:59, 30 December 2014 diff hist +1,521 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries The Sunday Times article is not direct coverage of the topic of the article at all. We need to be aware of that.

• 12:2412:24, 30 December 2014 diff hist +597 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Opus Software Solutions Please don't put words in my mouth!
• 12:1012:10, 30 December 2014 diff hist +280 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/McFarlane Sports Picks →McFarlane Sports Picks: If there is consensus that the article should be changed then the first thing to do would be to ask the article creator rather than someone not familiar with the topic

• 18:5418:54, 29 December 2014 diff hist +686 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/McFarlane Sports Picks An article being too long or not reading right are not reasons for deletion. Found some sources - not in depth but a Google search seems to show many forums and collector websites.
• 18:3518:35, 29 December 2014 diff hist +261 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Caraway Group How is this in Wikipedia. No coverage at all.
• 18:2418:24, 29 December 2014 diff hist +436 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Opus Software Solutions Read through all of this. Where is the in depth coverage of the company?!

• 14:3914:39, 27 December 2014 diff hist +3,746 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries Arguing my case. I think we should stick to WP guidelines about companies. These are specific and targeted. Other companies do get in depth coverage - not PR or passing mentions - so why should this one be different?

• 13:0313:03, 26 December 2014 diff hist +24 m Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries rephrase to hopefully sound less antagonistic.
• 12:5712:57, 26 December 2014 diff hist +105 m Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries Forgot to add signature.
• 12:5212:52, 26 December 2014 diff hist +4,287 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries Going through new references provided. They are mostly a few sentences. Every company probably has these kinds of mentions. It doesn't show notability. In addition, one is a list and one I would suspect exists for SEO purposes - possibly paid.

19 December 2014

• 10:1810:18, 19 December 2014 diff hist +1,576 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries I think it's time to let people decide. I think all arguments are now on the table.

• 18:0218:02, 18 December 2014 diff hist +2,215 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries Arguing my case about Fast Track - I think the fundamental point is there are 750 companies featured per year. And it's one paragraph. Also regarding SEO companies do get to appear bigger than they are with a WP entry. It does help indirectly.

• 20:0220:02, 16 December 2014 diff hist +320 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries Adding a quote. Fast Track is not about "winners". It's basically a list. You tell them your sales figures and if they want, they include you. No mention of fact checking or checking sales is given on the website. Sticking to the facts.
• 19:5219:52, 16 December 2014 diff hist +2,511 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries Continuing to argue my case
• 17:3717:37, 16 December 2014 diff hist +1,589 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries Explaining that Fast Track is self reported and questioning whether we can really view fluff PR interviews as reliable independent sources.
• 15:0815:08, 16 December 2014 diff hist +756 Catherine Webb Adding references for now, will come back later. Also added sci-fi as genre
• 14:5414:54, 16 December 2014 diff hist +1,725 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries Explaining that a great source e.g. the BBC can still have a passing reference. We can't possibly have every small website that appears by happenchance on the BBC website, on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a general encyclopaedia

• 10:2010:20, 12 December 2014 diff hist +1,332 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kevin Hearne →Kevin Hearne: Clarifying that if a subject passes notability, the quality/content of the article is without doubt not a reason for deletion.
• 09:2109:21, 12 December 2014 diff hist −4 m Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Direct Ferries →Direct Ferries: I had written "not not notable" - woops a double negative that means exactly the opposite of what I want to say!
