The company isn't notable. It fails WP:CORP. DeleteGreenJoe 18:11, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Agree – no reliable – verifiable – notable information on the company that I can find. Other than the company does exist. Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages. ShoesssSTalk 18:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom, IMO could have been a speedy delete candidate. PKT (talk) 19:54, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I tried that, it was turned down. GreenJoe 20:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep TekSavvy has been covered on (atleast) one of Canada's major TV newscasts, CBC's The National. I don't feel that coverage qualifies as "Trivial or incidental." You can see the coverage at: [1]. They have also been covered numerous times on Broadband Reports with much deeper coverage, another independent news source.Taylor (talk) 07:59, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I respectfully disagree. The CBC article you cite is about Bell using "throttling" on its network, and Teksavvy is one of many customers affected by the practice. It so happens that the newscast chose to use Teksavvy as the representative example. I believe the story itself described Teksavvy as "tiny". PKT (talk) 13:39, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I still have to disagree. If the coverage happened to just mention their name in say a list, I think that would be "trivial or incidental", but to send camera's out to their office, interview the CEO, they were pretty prominent. The National isn't advertising, it's never going to be about the company, it's going to be about issues that involve a company. Also if you look at WP:CORP#Primary_criterion it outlines what is trivial coverage, it's talking about things like phone numbers or shopping hours, not CEO interviews. I also note that the notability policy says nothing about the size of the organization, only that it has received such coverage; I also personally don't think 50,000 customers is tiny. That's also only one particular piece of coverage, TekSavvy specifically was covered on the Broadband Reports news pages multiple times. It may not be a major news outlet, but it's still an independent news organization. A bit of Googling will also turn up more small news outlets that have talked about them.

Delete per nom. And, despite Taylor's argument, TekSavvy was not the subject of that piece. That is incidental coverage. Resolute 18:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't think that Broadband Reports meets WP:RS, but I could be mistaken. They have been covered in the MSM, but only incidentally in regards to protests organized by the CEO again throttling.[2], [3], [4]. DigitalC (talk) 06:14, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination; a small Canadian ISP, receiving at best incidental coverage in non-tech-related media. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 21:12, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, unremarkable ISP, secondary coverage is incidental at best. Lankiveil(speak to me) 03:43, 1 June 2008 (UTC).[reply]
