This article was nominated for deletion on 21 June 2016. The result of 1st nomination was Keep.

Removed Delete Tags[edit]

This is a notable company, but the artical is very poor. It needs to be completely re-written. Keep it after turning it into a stub is my vote.

This thing was a copy and paste from the company website, I blanked that out and have given the page a start on being a real entry. Will work on it more later. --Shortfuse 03:09, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed a prod for a second time. From WP:PROD Articles that: Have previously been proposed for deletion using the {{prod}} process. are not candidates for {{prod}}. As for the current state of the article it still reads like a advertisement but I don't think any research went in before nominating this article on notability grounds. In the quick search I did I found dozens of independent references, such as the one I added, focusing on the company. Definitely meets notability standards. ~ Eóin (talk) 07:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Tmt1 l.gif[edit]

Image:Tmt1 l.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Etymology[edit]

Ironically, the name of the company came from a colloquialism meaning "small (inexpensive, no overhead) business." As in, "Are they expensive." "Naw. It's just two guys and a truck." With the expansion of this business (before the ubiquity of the internet), the colloquialism has vanished and been replaced with something more specific to each situation. You can't even find that it ever was a colloquialism at one time! Student7 (talk) 21:00, 18 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
