Delete and agree, Wikipedia articles on related subjects could use some work. It was created by a single-purpose account that also tried to create an article on a company mentioned in this one: Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Quotium Technologies, which would not disqualify it per se. But this one has just too many issues with style being all out of place. Too many capital letters, no lead, raw urls for citations, dated language (" today’s date", "At this point of time", "at present" etc.) reads clearly like a marketing research report (e.g. solutions) not encyclopedia language.

Comment - I agree the article has problem (I've added an {{essay-like}} tag) but we don't delete flawed articles, we improve them. The AfD question here is about notability and no one has addressed that question yet. ~KvnG 15:12, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, to be explicit, this topic is not notable. Two citations are to a promotional page for a talk by Quotium, who appears to be the ones coining this neologism. Two are for a marketing report that is not available without purchase. One is short blog posting. One is a promotional brochure from Singapore (?) that quotes the same marketing report. Every new acronym invented by a marketer does not automatically get an article. W Nowicki (talk) 20:05, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If this topic is truly notable, the article would have to be completely rewritten anyway to get rid of the OR and soapboxing. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 14:19, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
