For the sake of disclosure, please note that I am employed by the communications agency Hallvarsson & Halvarsson, which is owned by DF King Worldwide. I have created this article because I believe that the nature of DF King Worldwide is such that facts about the company may be of interest to Wikipedia’s users and that the company has received enough attention to fulfill the notability requirements. I have attempted to keep a neutral point of view, to back up all claims with proper references and to restrict the article content to information that the general reader might want to consult as a reference. I have tried to summarize in an encyclopedic format and according to my personal judgment information available from sources other than DF King Worldwide itself, and the compilation does not in any way constitute an official representation of the company.

While I recognize that it is not self-evident that DF King Worldwide meets the notability criteria, I did research existing Wikipedia articles on communications, PR and advertising agencies before writing the article, and I believe that there is precedent indicating that the article does belong in Wikipedia. (See Category:Public relations companies, Category:Public relations companies of the United States and Category:Advertising agencies for a large number of examples.) I have taken care to include references that show that the company has been given attention in both general business press and industry press. Further, I believe that the inclusion in the World Economic Forum's Community of Global Growth Companies is also a case for notablity. I will by the way change the article's categorization from Advertising agencies to Public relations companies, as that better describes the activities of the company. Anyway, thank you to User:GDonato for removing the speedy deletion tag. OttoG (talk) 17:44, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
