Business promo put up by WP:SPA with obvious WP:COI based on user name. DB-SPAM --Gaff (talk) 20:01, 17 January 2015 (UTC) Gaff (talk) 20:01, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Comments For clarity of editors looking for reliable secondary notable source, the current article is NOT about the similarly named non-profit group The Opportunity Network. Also, it is suspected that the "ON" in Username Flippo ON signifies the connection to the business directory/article written.

Not a business promotion. All information supported by proper sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Filippo ON (talk • contribs) 17:59, 19 January 2015 (UTC) — Filippo ON (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I would like to state that the no-profit organisation under the name "The Opportunity Network" has nothing to do with Opportunity Network, Inc. Just relying on the sources made in my editing you can EASILY understand it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Filippo ON (talk • contribs) 14:14, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Delete Although I don't agree that the article is overtly promotional, I do not believe that the organization meets the criteria for inclusion. The coverage available all appears to be from first-person interviews with the organization's founder, and has the appearance of "advertorial" content.

• Delete. WP:ADMASQ. "...an exclusive social network devoted to CEOs and founders of companies..." "Members can anonymously share and connect with diverse commercial opportunities..." Oh, please. How would these bigshot CEOs even know they're talking to other important bigshots if they're all anonymous? And oh look, anybody can join, so it's not "exclusive" in the least.
