Blue Shift Inc.
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This company appears to have no in-depth or non-directory coverage to enable it to pass WP:CORP. While they have a few marginally notable products, the company appears to be NN and both WP:NPRODUCT and WP:INHERITORG apply.

Note that this article was created by a WP:SPA that appears to have a WP:COI with Blue Shift and its CEO, Jeff King (author). Toddst1 (talk) 23:22, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. It was kept as "an acceptable stub" in 2011 after the previous AfD, it's still a stub and serves no purpose other than to raise the public profile of the company the page author wanted to advertise (among the other things he wanted to advertise, such as himself).  – Athaenara  ✉  06:15, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete The only independent source of any kind I could find was this, a court ruling about a dispute they were involved with. Their website doesn't have any titles with dates newer than 2011, so they may have gone out of business - if we can't find sources to confirm whether or not they still exist, we don't need an article about them.

 * Delete - per nom. Videogameplayer99 (talk) 22:35, 10 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete There's little about them; mentions here and there, no in-depth coverage. The most promising source I found was this June 2003 article and related coverage of a collaboration, but no articles on its results. Perhaps they were classified. Too bad for Blue Shift, Inc, as they're left failing WP:NCORP. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 21:13, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. 13 years on and still effectively and unreferenced stub.  Their 2011 AfD was poorly discussed in my view with weak refs supporting keep.  Little now.  No real refs to improve this article or move it on from a stub. Britishfinance (talk) 00:15, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
