Wikipedia's notability guidelines for companies and organizations
I believe this page does meet Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. Under Wikipedia's "Examples of substantial coverage", one item includes "An encyclopedia entry giving an overview of the history of an organization" which is what this article is, Peraton is a relatively large company at 22k employees, and this article gives an overview of the company and its history, as the company was formed by other companies merging together. There are also a dozen pages that link to this one, which is another indication the page should exist. Feel free to suggest reasons why it's not notable, but I would recommend removing the notability issue tag. --Supremedemency (talk) 23:12, 24 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Agreed - Washington Technology lists it as a top 10 federal contractor in 2021, which is definitely worth an article, not withstanding the process of it's creation Darwinsbarkspiders (talk) 09:12, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because the original reason for the speedy deletion was that the content was copied straight from theladders.com, but we have since proven that theladders.com has copied Wikipedia (on nearly all of their company overview pages). I contacted theladders.com and they have since removed the copied version for Peraton (they reworded the information). So the original reason for the deletion is now false, and if you want to see the email where theladders.com acknowledged that they copied the content from Wikipedia let me know. --Supremedemency (talk) 23:00, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

Also I want to point out that Wikipedia's deletion template specifically says "Please be sure that the source of the alleged copyright violation is not itself a Wikipedia mirror." which the user Onel5969 (who originally marked it for deletion) failed to follow, even spending just 1 minute looking through theladders.com's pages will reveal that they regularly copy content directly from Wikipedia, for all of the company profile pages. Looking through Onel5969's talk page I'm seeing other instances of Onel5969 carelessly requesting speedy deletions where a deletion discussion would have been more appropriate. I would advise an administrator take a closer look at Onel5969's actions in the future. --Supremedemency (talk) 23:10, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
