Inc. (magazine)[edit]

Inc. (magazine) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

I almost deleted this as an advertisement. It seems to do little but promote the magazine/website. This http://www.inc.com?partner=wikipedia also disturbs me (look in the article). Wikipedia is not their partner last time I checked... I'm thinking that link was designed to figure out how many page views the company was getting from wikipedia, though I could be wrong. I did not delete due to the fact that the article has been around a while. —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 02:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy keep, article may need cleanup but Inc. is the largest small business magazine in the US and is clearly notable. AFD is not cleanup. --Dhartung | Talk 03:35, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note prior AFD at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Inc._Magazine. --Dhartung | Talk 03:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have reverted to a version before Vbelyavsky (talk · contribs) began replacing the article with promotional language (the editor also created two separate articles for the Inc 500 and Inc 5000, since speedied; see User talk). --Dhartung | Talk 04:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, then make this a speedy keep, I was wondering if I was missing something here. Thanks! —— Eagle101 ^{Need help?} 04:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
