Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Network Video
Utterly fails , although I must admit the founder is an incredibly good marketer! I am particularly concerned about the voting on this AfD - the above 12 references are a smokescreen. On a quick read of them (I have access through my university to a news service which allowed me to do such), most if not all were interviews with the founder Keran Wicks, articles in local rags, blatant adverts or press releases, and even one dangerous spam link which tries to load software onto one's computer and should *never* have been |linked from a Wikipedia article. The "Australian Government" link is actually the Australian Film Commission's list of providers which are written by the companies themselves. The Bangkok Post ref was completely misleading as it ''did not even reference Network Video'' (it was entirely about a competing chain, Video Ezy). I would not stoop to call those above "lazy and wrong", but there is certainly some question about pots, |kettles and the colour black. Wikipedia MUST in order to maintain public confidence deal with self-promotion efforts by businesses as a key priority - it would not be allowed within the Britannica, and for good reason
