Avanquest

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable company per WP:CORP. No significant coverage. Everything cited or mentioned in this article is essentially promotional. The WinFax software mentioned is different from the notable WinFax. FalconK (talk) 20:19, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The argument of WP:CORP was not supported with evidence and is refuted by WP:LISTED. Unscintillating (talk) 01:01, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:LISTED does not directly provide notability. My evidence for WP:CORP is that there is only the forbes citation in the article, and I can't find anything else about the company that would make it notable (see WP:CORPDEPTH).  FalconK (talk) 01:40, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Avanquest S.A. is the parent company that is listed, so it may be notable. But not a division by default. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:38, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom - David Gerard (talk) 19:09, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
 * If the article fails WP:NOT, why does the problem rise to the level of WP:DEL14? Unscintillating (talk) 01:01, 8 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment – The company's full name appears to be "Avanquest Software", so adding search parameters below. North America1000 08:31, 3 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:PROMO. The company is established, so not a flash in the pan. But the copy is too promotional, including: "In 2007 Avanquest Software strengthened its international presence with the acquisition of ...". The article then goes on to discuss the company's sales channels. So delete it as corporate spam, likely written by a paid editor; no point in wasting volunteer editors time rewriting this unacceptable copy, on a company that is highly likely to be non notable.
