Notability cannot be established, company does not appear to have a significant coverage in reliable secondary sources

Delete - I see two claims to notability there. One is ...It was one of the very first agencies to offer unique promotional services on the internet, which is backed up with a link to the company's website. I can't find anything in Google that might indicate this to be true, and I think it would be impossible to verify anyway. The second is the claim that the company is a women-owned minority business, which might have been notable in
1917 but not in 2008 (or some other type of business that had traditionally been male dominated). This looks like the usual corp advert article disguised with extraneous claims of notability in an attempt to clear
WP:CORP. §

Delete - A minor mention in a 2001 Miami newspaper, but nothing else. The claims made are either unsourced or not very extraordinary, as mentioned above.

Keep - The article has been updated to reflect more outside references. Notability is defined as "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article" and has nothing to do with whether or not the editor thinks the topic is extraordinary or popular. Whether or not being woman owned is out of the ordinary in this day and age should not be an issue. It is part of Gallant's company history and therefore part of the article.

Comment - According to
WP:CORP: "Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. The source's audience must also be considered; evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability, whereas attention solely by local media is not an indication of notability." The only press coverage referenced in the article at this moment is an article in the Orlando Business Journal. --

There is no news coverage of this event, other than at the blog of PPAI trade organisation. A Google news search on this (
