A A Baig & Co., Chartered Accountants

This article has a bit of history. It used to be a user page (User:Aabaig) I speedy deleted. The deletion was contested by the user on his talk page, asserting his company did meet the WP:CORP criteria. Since we both disagreed, I moved the page to the article space and I am bringing it to AfD. My opinion is that despite the fact that this company is on a list of accredited companies (with ~30 other companies from Pakistan), it does not make it notable, and its small size (30 employees) doesn't help.

Request not to be Deleted. You guys may rather advise me to make necessary changes within the article to make it more appropriate and acceptable as per your regulations. I would also appreciate if you consider the following facts: a) This firm has around 100 employees if you include the employees which are hired by the firm but outsourced to various local and multinational organizations all over the country. The concept is known as Staff Leasing or HR Outsourcing. Since, such employees are hired purely for specific clients and are used there dedicatedly for long periods, such employees are not included by the firm in its manpower strength. b) Pakistan has more than 500 Accountancy Practicing Firms all working under license from the profession's regulatory body - the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan, however, only around 90 odd firms have satisfactory Quality Control Ratings. This firm is one of them. c) This firm was one of the first few professional firms / companies to have been given the status of ACCA Accredited Employer by ACCA even before companies such as Unilever Pakistan, Proctor & Gamble Pakistan, etc were given the same status. d) This firm's IS/IT Division's main clientele is UK based and the IS/IT Division's offices are also located in Leicestershire as well as in Newcastle - UK. Having offshore offices is a rarity among Accountancy / Consulting Firms in Pakistan. e)The firm's growth rate during the last financial year has been more than 100%. f)Keeping in view the fact that in Pakistan, there are only 5004 Chartered Accountants with 20% of them (around 1000) overseas, so from the point of view of Pakistanis and several other South Asians, this firm might justify a place at Wikipedia. g)You must note that Pakistan's economy is a growing one with one of the highest GDP growth rates in the world during the last consecutive three financial years. The economy is booming and so are professional service providers. This firm has grown from a relatively small sole practice into a medium size practice within a very short span of time (within five years). This too is an achievement for this firm. h)If you look at this firm's clientele, you will see that there are several top financial institutions which shows this firm's credibility. i) I will also appreciate if you look at the following wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzzacott "Buzzacott is a mid-sized London Accountancy firm based in a single office in the City. Buzzacott Lillywhite began trading in the City of London in 1919, by the late 1960’s the firm was working for a number of religious and charitable clients. Indeed, not-for-profit remains one of the firm's seven specialist teams together with corporate, private client, expatriate, VAT, IT & consulting and financial services. Buzzacott is a growing firm with around 200 employees and 18 partners and was ranked 30th in 2007 (with an income of £15m) in the Accountancy Age list of the top 50 accountancy firms." My reservation is that if a single office, single city firm which comes at number '30' in UK can justify a space at wikipedia, why cannot a multi office international firm like AAB justify a space at wikipedia. You may also visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergroup and you will understand my point more clearly. Please reconsider.
