Borderline speedy - originally tagged as such : The sole purpose of the article is to promote a nn candiate for the upcoming EU elections. I except we will get a lot more of these over the coming days. Passportguy (talk) 17:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Black Box Network Services is a publicly traded international company and one of the largest providers of telephony and networking equipment in the United States. Scottel, founded by Duncan Robertson, was one of the largest providers of telephony equipment in California. The news of the Black Box acquisition of Scottel was of considerable interest to the telephony and data networking industry in the US. In addition, Mr. Robertson is the only independent candidate running for European election and as such, is of considerable interest as an exceptional case.

  • Weak Keep Article makes no use of reliable sources, but a quick search at [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=duncan+robertson+scottel&aq=1&oq=Duncan+Robertson&aqi=g7 google] turns up a few references on the wire services (reuters and the like). Its not much so far, but it does turn up enough to indicate that a more dedicated searcher than I may find more if we look. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 03:46, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Note The author blanked the page today. Looks like Mr. Robertson didn't do well in yesterdays elections and that that there is now no longer a need for this advertising page. Tagged as db-author. Passportguy (talk) 18:27, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
