An IP claiming to represent the company wishes this article deleted ("Take Payfirma off Wikipedia entirely."). I agree with this proposal on the basis that the company is at best marginally notable and most of the sources used have little more reliability than a press release or do not support the article's content.

DISAGREE
I don't know what kind of homework you did on if that user indeed came from the company but if you want to delete this page, you should be consistent and delete the other 2.8M company pages that are not notable or have no references outside press releases. Leave it to a Wiki super admin to think he/she defines what is notable and what isn't. Typical fascist control freaks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.98.115 (talk • contribs) 14:49, 28 January 2013
- Not much homework, I took the rant on his talk page ("letting us edit our own page") as an admission. The IP geolocates to Vancouver (as does yours), though that doesn't mean much. The style of writing is intended to promote rather than inform (eg. I cannot see how any honest person could defend the use of footnote 2) which usually means WP:COI, but not necessarily in-house.
- As for the other 2.8M, I'd love to see them redone based on credible secondary sources, preferably by someone without a business relationship with the company. If that isn't possible, I'd like to have them deleted too. Would you like to help? Kilopi (talk) 19:11, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nominator, who is more patient than I. The page is not offensively promotional in tone, but the subject does not seem notable. --Lockley (talk) 06:22, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
