Wikipedia

Keep/Delete

On the aspect of the NOTABILITY of Boardex. It is the only service focused solely on the most influential people associated with running the wealth creating businesses in North America and Europe. It is the only database of its type which is updated daily, and supported by a team of around 350 full time researchers.

Unlike all the other business networking services featured in Wikipedia Boardex does not rely on members adding themselves, nor does it integrate 3rd party data.

Given that services such as LinkedIn and Xing are acceptable I find it difficult to understand how BoardEx which includes the fully researched profile of over 300,000 leading business people, creating over 4.5 million first degree connections fails. CDT007 (talk) 19:49, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP':3 reasons Boardex is notable

There over 20 academic articles, conducted by highly qualified professors from world class institutions, that state BoardEx is the primary source of information and analysis. All these articles are found by going to Google Scholar and typing in BoardEx.

In addition, there have been 5 articles in the Financial Times that quote BoardEx as a source of data that substantiates an important point.

BoardEx meets every criteria for being Notable, if not indeed important, from both an academic and organisation perspective.

Looking at the bottom of the BoardEx website it lists a number of clients that are well know, reputable companies.

Surely anyone suggesting deletion needs to employ a bit of basic research before expressing an unqualified and what appears to be personal opinion based on no facts.

If deletion is based on consensus then my view is of no value as sadly the others did no research before making theirs. Glfmwood (talk) 17:26, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - We have an article about a vegetarian themed video game (Steer Madness) which is sold less than 1,000 copies worldwide that has not been looked at, while we have here were discussing if we should delete a tool being used by fortune 500 companies?^[1] --Maverx (talk) 01:17, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
