Small company, all coverage listed is either from small local sources or press releases. Fails WP:ORG. —Chowbok ☠ 00:41, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The references in the article weren't set up very well, which could have led to them being overlooked. In fact, the company has attracted coverage from a variety of publications, including one (Logistics Quarterly) published in Toronto. The acquisition of the company by an Australian-based firm was covered by Orlando Business Journal, which is interesting since LeanLogistics is based in Michigan. In this case, the references taken together seem to add up to notability. Still, there is something about this article (and others created by the same editor), which doesn't quite feel right. - Eastmain (talk) 03:55, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It takes some rather unusual circumstances to make a behind the scenes business like this notable. Logistics Quarterly would appear to be fairly obviously a publication of "limited interest and circulation", and as such not enough to confer notability, In addition, this is obvious advertising: Unlike traditional installed software, LeanLogistics helped pioneer transportation management systems delivered on a single hosted platform..... helping reduce empty miles with network-wide visibility into available capacity for matching supply and demand..... Spend Management to control costs and increase savings for customers by employing the right carriers, correct payments and network benchmark data to ensure proper solutions are implements. The Path to Value is another "best practice" of LeanLogistics, a customized program to improve business performance at a low risk by benchmarking customer's processes and performances and tailoring specific programs to improve business where needed. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:30, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
