[edit] Hierarchical Customer Management

PROD was removed with no improvement to the article. There are no reliable sources to establish any notability of this process. A Google search with this article title in quotes turns up only 9 results of which the first is this article. Of the remainder, only two appear to about the concept written about here. One is simply a navigation link that leads to one of the prior two results. And the remainder aren't about this. In fact they are about a different concept of hierarchical customer management.

• This is another that I came across on Proposed Deletion patrol and left to be deleted because I agreed that it was unverifiable. I couldn't find it documented by reliable sources anywhere. This appears to in fact be an advertisement masquerading as an article. The clues to this are the very first sentence of the first revision of the article, q.v., this edit mentioning a company, and this self-promotional article by the CEO of that company, also written in January 2008 as this article was. The self-promotion claims that the company is "a leading hierarchical-customer-management (HCM) solution". But the reality appears to be that it's the only such "solution", because HCM is a thing that the company itself invented, and then came to Wikipedia to write original promotional articles about. Wikipedia is not a self-submission advertising billboard. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 13:34, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete I placed a CSD tag on this article when it was first created on January 14, 2008 because it was pure advertisement for a company. The creator of the article removed the CSD tag and substantially shortened the article to a relatively reasonable article that doesn't read so much like pure advertisement... the only thing missing now is notability of this company and so I say delete per WP:CORP and WP:NN.

• Delete, strongly, per above. Yet another article about a dubious neologism attempting to promote a rather obvious three letter acronym purporting to be a "new" business data management practice and making grandiose claims about its potential worth. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:45, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete: I placed Advert, Wikify and Unref tags on it when it was originally posted. It looked like a candidate for SD:Advertising, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and just placed the 'Advertising' tag on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bagheera (talk • contribs) 16:31, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete as self-promoting neologism. Majoreditor (talk) 04:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete I did some checking also and agree with the comments above as to lack of references and notability, and that it's advertising (although less so now), as well as WP:COI. — Becksguy (talk) 07:16, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Comment: This article was just turned back into an advertisement piece by an IP. I removed the junk. Just an FYI. ✰ALLSTAR✰ ^echo 09:29, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
