The article originally read like an advertisement without corroborating, reliable sources. I discussed the issues with the author on Talk:Hotwax_media , but am now requesting further discussion. It also seems to be a non-notable company under WP:NN with virtually no Google hits other than the company's main page. Initially filed for Speedy Delete under WP:G11.

- Comment: Google returns 13,200 search results when I search for "Hotwax media" in quotation marks. Does anyone know the names of any computer programming magazines or other notable websites that could be searched for topics on this? If its that popular, there should be an article about it somewhere. Dream Focus (talk) 01:55, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I Google searched "hot wax media" (with quotes) with a space between the "hot" & "wax", so discount this specific part of my note above. --Macrowiz (talk) 02:28, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Perhaps the article should not be about hotwax, instead, about Apache OFBiz. If you Google "hotwax media" -hotwaxmedia.com -wiki -blog -linkedin (which removes self published, wikipedia, blog and linkedin results), 79 matches are found, mostly self published pages, speaking engagements and website pages created by hotwax. I don't see any indication of notability for hotwax. However, on the main page of http://ofbiz.apache.org/ there's plenty of major 3rd party coverage. - DustyRain (talk) 16:44, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I didn't see any indication of notability. ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:23, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Does it have to be google relevant? Here are two articles that I have found: http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/ofbiz-apachecon-us-join-forces/story.aspx?guid={1BE59ABE-6FD1-4D80-8BA9-015EC202EA5D}&dist=msr_19 and http://www.us.apachecon.com/c/acus2008/sponsors/sponsor. Again, I believe this to be a notable company that deserves an article written about it. Dcunplugged (talk) 16:19, 25 November 2008 (UTC)DCUnplugged[reply]
- Those articles aren't about this company. I think they might be worth including to establish that the company is a platinum sponsor of something or has been interviewed about OfBiz, but I don't think either article offers much to establish notability.
