Significance not asserted, written like advertisement (terms like customer-centric?!?). May simply require a rewrite, though. DavidWS (talk) 12:50, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question Could this simply require a rewrite to assert significance and to be written in a neutral POV? What do you think? DavidWS (talk) 13:03, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

- Keep and cleanup tremendously — no blatant advertising, but needs some good cleanup/copyediting to get rid of the tone. Articles has independent sources establishing notability. MuZemike (talk) 00:14, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete No assertion of notability, fails WP:V none of the given references are reliable sources, most are one line mentions of the website in University magazine articles. Just looks like another text-book buyback service to me. Mister Senseless™ (Speak - Contributions) 15:09, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete- The sources are just passing mentions and do not establish that notability requirements are met. They prove the company exists, but that's all. So what? There's lots of companies in the world. Most aren't notable, like this one. Reyk YO! 00:39, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete--some of the sources weren't even passing mentions, really: one was a story about a competitor. After editing out the trivia and spam, what's left is that this company exists, and that a campus newspaper once suggested students might use its website.

- Strong delete - Article is an ad, too short, has unreliable references and is non-notable. - ÆÅM «(fætsøn!) 11:26, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
