BreakingPoint Systems

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No significant claim of notability. Also appears to be WP:ARTSPAM - page creator, User:Kyleflaherty, has a vested interest - see Bazonka (talk) 14:20, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Looking at the article's references, there does seem to be plenty of independent coverage. Including mentions in mainstream news sources such as the Daily Mail (the second most read English language newspaper website in the world). Pit-yacker (talk) 14:56, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. The claimed Daily Mail source does not appear to contain the string "BreakingPoint", and would appear to be about network security generally.  The rest of the sources are press release based coverage of company-announced "breakthroughs", startup-related announcements, routine financing announcements, and petty trade awards from industry analysts.  (Hint: if it says a leading network security provider and worldwide leader of unified threat management (UTM) solutions or the like, it's not an independent source.)  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 20:01, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
