Comments[edit]

In reference to the speedy deletion; I added that Interstate was recognized for their compliance with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and then put the link for the Washington Post article after it. If this was not done properly, I apologize. Interstate had to go through an extensive investigation through Homeland Security in order to receive this accreditation; I currently am unaware of any other company in their industry that has gone through this process. Thanks.

Franky, I couldn't care less whether a company is recognised as compliant. They're meant to be. If you apply that criteria then every company in the world that has attained, say, ISO9000 standard should have an entry, regardless of size/influence/sector etc. It is a silly argument and I'm considering taking this to AfD. - Sitush (talk) 16:39, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've now trawled through all that I can and expanded the article a bit (well, doubled it). I can now accept that it is "notable" under the WP policies, even if perhaps not in the real world. Really could do with some industry stats: where does it rank among - excuse the pun - the movers and shakers of this industry in the US, etc. Presumably there are surveys out there, probably in trade publications. - Sitush (talk) 22:05, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
