Notable. See link in article. Treck made the news.

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because...

This TCP/IP stack was recently in the news for causing a severe software vulnerability in embedded systems sold by at least 21 major manufacturers, and potentially more. You can't possibly claim non-notability if you've read https://www.jsof-tech.com/ripple20/. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.243.116.94 (talk) 17:03, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for starting a discussion as to why you think that this company is notable. Here are my thoughts:
 * Treck is an ambiguous term (it is both a surname and an archaic spelling of trek). This page can easily be created at Treck Inc.—which appears to be the company name—or Treck (software) without disturbing the existing redirect. (c.f., Apple Inc.)
 * The JSOF link appears to be a self-published source, which may not be a reliable source. However, I did use it to learn the term Ripple20 and then do my own searches, where I do see a number of news articles about it, so I can see that Ripple20 being notable.
 * The company does not appear notable outside of the Ripple20 vulnerability. Notability is not inherited, so even though the company made the vulnerable software and the vulnerability may warrant a page, the company may not warrant one. If this is the case, a redirect from Treck Inc. or Treck (software) to Ripple20 would be reasonable.
 * I suggested in our previous discussions that this page could be created at Draft:Treck so that more people can review it to determine if it is notable. That may still be advisable.
 * With all this in mind and based on what I'm seeing with sources, Ripple20 seems notable and the most appropriate title for article, because the vulnerabilities are what have significant coverage in reliable sources. Treck should be mentioned in the article and have Treck Inc. or Treck (software) redirect to it, but I'm not seeing independent significant coverage of the company that doesn't address the recently discovered vulnerabilities. The Ripple20 article should include several reliable sources to at least complement the JSOF link, which the current state of Treck is missing; until those sources are included, the page can best be incubated at Draft:Ripple20.

 * I wasn't planning on spending more than 10 minutes on this. 205.243.116.94 (talk) 20:23, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
 * In that case, one of the simpler paths seem more reasonable than re-purposing an existing page, though I apologize for not recalling that you would not be able to create a page as an anonymous user. In the future, rather than re-purposing a page without the intention of providing the necessary references, please address it on a Talk page or as requested articles. In this case, there do seem to be enough references to indicate notability, so I have started Ripple20. I've also created the Treck Inc redirect to it. —Ost (talk) 21:05, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
