The result was   keep. Lack of references is a solvable problem, copyright/spam issues are actively worked on, and claims for and against notability are speculative. Per WP:CSB and the ongoing improvements, this article is kept. Skomorokh 16:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

The article has no reference citations and appears to be a synthesis of cut and paste from http://www.austriamicrosystems.com/ Jezhotwells (talk) 22:04, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-consumer business manufacturing components -- The company focuses on the areas of power management, sensors and sensor interfaces, portable audio and car access -- unlikely to be the topic of significant coverage outside the trade. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The article was originally created by me. Since then, clearly someone within the company had turned it into something of a brochure which is not at all the kind of entry we want.  However over the last few weeks, it has been steadily improved by a number of people and is now much more factual.  It could use a little further improvement I grant you, but it's on the way.  I don't agree that a business which does not sell to consumers directly is automatically a subject for deletion.  There are many very large manufacturers which have little or no consumer product portfolio, but it does not make them unimportant.  I hope and trust that we can remove the deletion tag soon.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Weak Keep needs work, but possibly notable. A public company, so there ought to be some financial data and information on market share. Wherther a company derals with consumers or not is totally irrelevant to notability, though it does affect the nature of the sources likely to be available. Considering non-consumer businesses as less notable is systematic bias--if anything, their under-representation here is a reason to be flexible on sources. DGG (talk) 05:28, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
