This article is an advertisement for a corporation with a reasonably large turnover and no inherent notability. Fiddle Faddle 14:59, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom - I exhaustively combed the web and could only find this article [[1]] talking about their new interns. Definitely needs to be deleted. Great catch, bro! BlueSalix (talk) 15:52, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Upgrading to Strong Delete and recommend WP:SALTing as PR-cruft. BlueSalix (talk) 19:44, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and improve - seems fairly notable, with a lot of good secondary coverage online from WP:RS.

Upgrading to Strong Keep I've removed the copyrighted promotional junk added by a company employee, and added a history section using the references above (plus another I found from the DT). It certainly meets Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) with the level of press coverage it's received, and no longer has a promotional tone.
