Non-notable company that fails to meet WP:CORP. I've searched for the company name and "Isaacson", the founders surname and turned up zero in-depth, independent coverage. SmartSE ( talk) 01:38, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. It consists of small business franchises. Does adverts on tv. I found mentions on CNBC, CNN, & WSJ, but nothing in-depth. CNN Money mentions it. SW3 5DL ( talk) 03:20, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

- Keep. The article needs work, but this is a significant franchise. I was surprised to see the article nominated for deletion. I found 11,200 news articles by searching news.google.com.

WP:GHITS - do any of those thousands of links provide any substantial coverage of the company as opposed to small mentions in passing? The reason I noted the founders surname in the nom, is that a decent source would contain information about the founder.

- Many of them are articles about specific locations/franchisees, but that's what you expect with franchise organizations. Servpro is everywhere in the USA. Is there any other organization with 1,700 franchises that doesn't have a Wikipedia article? Jacknstock ( talk) 02:03, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
