Contested deletion
This article should NOT be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... JanusLogix is one of several companies funded by Canopy Group. It's already listed on that page and there are other companies that already have pages. JanusLogix is among the other companies listed on the Canopy Group page.

JanusLogix is a Subtopic
JanusLogix is a subtopic for the Canopy Group and not intended to be a full article. It is intended to provide information at this time. Although it could be expanded into the primary co-founders Sean O'gwin and Carlos Nevarez (co-founded Fusion-io)Wiki Gary (talk) 16:27, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * If you don't want this to be a stand alone article then I'd suggest you simply copy whatever text you want to keep and stick into a subsection of the parent article (Canopy Group?). Once that's done your pretty much good to go. You can then blank this and tag it for deletion per WP:CSD G7. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:27, 13 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Answer - Let me say that I honestly appreciate your time and efforts to explain your position here. But let me explain what I am seeing here and perhaps you can agree.

There are 36 companies listed under Canopy Group and several are already approved subtopics with their associated links. JanusLogix is already listed but has no explanation. A reasonable person should be able to agree that some companies are more notable than others and logically deserving of their place on Wikipedia as a point of interest. It goes against the original intent of Wikipedia to scrub all subtopics so much that nearly everything fits into the narrow category of lacking notability. Subtopics can and should logically be made short and concise. This is especially true of subjects where there are people who are willing to write about them. It actually takes more time and effort to shoot them down than it does to actually just allow them to exist. So, I agree JanusLogix is less notable and as such it also deserves (like many others) a short explanation of what they did. Millions of dollars and some of the most brilliant ideas have come from failed startups. Let's not kill a subtopic just because it's less notable. We never know what might come out in the future and if we destroy topics because they aren't popular at the moment we are doing a disservice to history.Wiki Gary (talk) 19:10, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
 * On Wikipedia all stand alone articles must meet our guidelines for encyclopedic notability. Subtopics that lack sufficient notability for a stand alone article but which warrant at least some mention are placed in the article that most closely relates to the subtopic. This is often done in conjunction with creating a WP:REDIRECT so that anyone searching for the term in question (ex. JanusLogix) would be automatically redirected to the parent article and if the redirect is so coded (see the link) it would take the individual who typed in that search straight to the relevant subsection of the parent article. Thus if we migrated the text of the draft JanusLogix into its own section of Canopy Group we would create a redirect that would take anyone looking for "JanusLogix" in a wiki search straight to the subsection of Canopy Group that covers this company. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:44, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
