Spammy article about a non-notable product. &mdash; RHaworth 00:44, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Organizations-related deletion discussions.  -- Joe Chill (talk) 00:50, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Note - I've just tidied the article. I've removed the overly detailed information about its products and services, which was unencylcopedic, advertisement-y, and gave undue weight to the topic.  I've also pulled out all the references which only pointed back to the company's own website.  That leaves a reference on Engadget and one on Boing Boing, both of which are little more than a regurgitation of the company's press pack verging on advertisement.  As always if anyone feels I've been unfair to the article, please revert (although the links to the company's website should definitely be "External Links" at best, not sources). - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:23, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Further Note - an anonymous user (presumably the article creator) reverted my edits and will probably do so again in future; I've had a second go but I guess there's a good chance at any given time you're going to be seeing the version that's just an outright advert. - DustFormsWords (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:19, 11 October 2009 (UTC).
 * Weak delete - (Noting the changes I made above), the article asserts notability but has no reliable sources to back that claim. There is coverage in sources which are both reliable and independent - but only two of them, the coverage is not significant, and appears to be a regurgitation of a Colorware press release.  I therefore don't consider it passes WP:N and should therefore be deleted. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:23, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Stub - There is too little information and the information helps only a bit. Plus Colorware is not notable. James1011R (talk) 23:36, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - I consider this notable enough. The company provides a service that is in the vanguard of new technology and therefore encyclopedia worthy. The problem seems to be mostly with the way it is written. It DOES need copy editing--the lack of clarity in this discussion about whether it's a product or a service illustrates the problem. I'm going to challenge the writer to step up to the plate and make the article much clearer. Explain to your audience how it differs from other companies offering appliance support. We also need some information on the technology of application.Georgiasouthernlynn (talk) 23:30, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
