Aspire Systems

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article is simply an advert for the company. There is nothing notable about it (either the company or the article). The editor who removed the prod tag added four more "Awards and recognitions", but they are far from notable, and likely biased. And they are unreferenced. The author did not address my discussion about the office in New Jersey. What is the address of the office in New Jersey?

 * Delete, probably speedy deletion material. Blatant spam for an entirely non-consumer business in a crowded field, with a thoroughly chunderous name: Aspire Systems is an ISO 9001:2000 certified Outsourced Product Development company based in Chennai, India. Its approach to software product development is based on the concept of Producteering. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:15, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep I have sourced and stubbed the article now. Only information that can be sourced from third party reliable sources has been kept and everything else (including the new jersey office concern of the nom) has been removed. As for the merits of the company itself, i think the quality of the sources and coverage proves it can have a separate article. Sources/Coverage that has been added include - Business Line, Daily News and Analysis, Express Computer, Rediff. There is also one ref from CNBC-TV18 which seems to atleast partially sourced from a PR release, but since it is CNBC and they normally verify Press releases before putting the news out (some amount of editorial control), i have included it too. With this much coverage in India's financial media, the company easily satisfies WP:GNG and thus WP:CORP.--Sodabottle (talk) 03:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep Sodabottle did an amazing job. The article looks really nice and the sources clearly show the subject's notability. Silver  seren C 07:44, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Per WP:N; significant coverage, and independent sources. Judicatus (talk) 14:31, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - but do those sources establish that this business has any historical, technical, or cultural significance? - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:57, 27 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. Company is marginal, but is subject to nontrivial coverage. ScottyBerg (talk) 16:58, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
