Merge or delete
I suggest that this article be merged with Hewlett-Packard Company or delete it altogether. There is very little content, the product is not noteworthy on its own, and the page appears to exist just for spam (spam link links, links to lists of spam, links to product site in external links section, not as citation for anything), etc. Dgtsyb (talk) 07:42, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * This is an article directly wikilink'ed from HP page. This would remove a possible clutter in the main page, if a merge is avoided. Just to add, the product is existent for more than 2 decades and is widely deployed. Unfortunately, there are no external links to prove these claims.
 * Also, calling the list of products a list of spam is ridiculous, as there are many articles in en.wiki listing the products of companies in the server/storage business. Probably a clean-up is required for that article with more wikilinks and citations.
 * Similarly, majority of the product/product-group articles in en.wiki provides external links to the page in which the product is known to the rest of the world. This is not considered as spam. There are other wikilinks for partner companies, which can be duly removed if it is against WP policies. Sibi_antony (talk) 18:13, 19 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Just because a product has existed for a while does not mean that it is noteworthy in an encyclopedia: an encyclopedia is not the place for a company to advertise its products. What is so special about this product, compared to any other notable company's SS7 protocol suite, that makes it deserve its own article in this encyclopedia?  And if you believe so, please verify claims to that effect with proper third-party sources.  Also, just a question, but do you have a past or present affiliation with Hewlett-Packard Company? — Dgtsyb (talk) 18:35, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
