Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted because... --Makeitbetter3009 (talk) 21:09, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is not about a school, but a for-profit business.

That's precisely why it's slated for deletion. How does that for-profit business meet the inclusion guidelines laid out here? -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 21:14, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedy deleted because... --Makeitbetter3009 (talk) 21:14, 8 August 2011 (UTC) it is about a for-profit company with reputable 3rd-party sources.[reply]

Which are...? -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 21:17, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Listed under references, including PARADE magazine and DailyCandy Kids.

All of them read like press releases, written by the company itself. One of them even contains the expression "Join us," which makes it ineligible as a source to establish notability. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 21:33, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Huffington Post piece indicates it was written by co-founder, Kalon Gutierrez. The other two, PARADE and DailyCandy Kids, are reputable 3rd-party sources written internally by each respective outlet.
