Algorithmics Inc.

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested proposed deletion. Non-notable business that provides enterprise risk management solutions and services to financial institutions. No indication that it has ever "had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education." As such, it is not really a subject that rates a separate article in an encyclopedia. References provided are to a risk-management magazine with a limited audience, non-notable trade awards with a limited audience, and top 100 lists.

 * Keep Ummm... maybe it was added later, but one of the references on the page is to an article about this company in the NYTimes. Information Week also appears to be a reliable source. --MelanieN (talk) 02:25, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment. The New York Times article is at least arguably about this business, although it seemed to me that people from the business were quoted on a general story about risk management.  But the Information Week material is all routine press release announcements of product releases and mergers.  I'm still not certain that any of this shows that this business had any significant impact on history, technology, or culture. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:04, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
