[edit] Gerson Lehrman Group

Article reads more like an advertisement. Almost all google links are back to company or subsidiary. Lacks notability. Was prodded and removed, so this is the next step. Avi 18:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I came to Wiki looking for info on this rather obscure but interesting company. I saw that the existing article had been proposed for deletion, and admittedly it was pretty useless (seemingly copied from marketing collateral). So I decided to try and make it a little better. Google revealed a couple of previously published stories, one in Crain's New York Business (Jan 27, 2003) and another in the Wall Street Journal (December 3, 2004). There was also a useful answer posted on Ask MetaFilter (http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/16697), which actually had much better info than Wiki. I hope the additional info improves the article, but it would be useful to have more recent info (which I don't have).—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Telematique (talk • contribs) 14:45, June 9, 2006 (UTC)

I presume you mean to vote for keep, but you may wish to clarify that, or preface your remarks with "Comment" if you do not wish to vote. -- Avi 22:41, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete unless notability established by reliable sources; many external links are broken; article notes that it is "little known outside Wall Street circles". Sandstein 20:58, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
