1. Advertising 2. Not a proper encyclopedic entry

Will surely lead to a tit-for-tat war from competitors before long - let's nip it in the bud now before the war starts.

If we delete this entry, then we should also delete hundreds of more articles on companies (Microsoft? D-Link? Trauma Studios?). ComOpt is a small but very successful niche company in the mobile communications business. It was I who added this article, and yes -- I work for the company in question. If you don't like the text, rewrite it! Wikipedia is about rewriting other peoples articles until they reach a "perfect" state. Go ahead! The proper question to ask ourselves is how deep we want Wikipedia to go? If we remove small companies, then we clearly should remove small towns as well, right? And how about people, how well-known does a person have to be to fit here? abelson 08:25, Nov 1, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable enuf for either business directories hoovers.com, nor Duns & Bradstreet to have heard of. Author might also want to review #18 on What_Wikipedia_is_not--doesn't sound like a "major corporation". Principle expressed at Auto-biography seems to apply. Nor does it seem to be a "household name" as cited at What's_in,_what's_out. Tutorial_%28Keep_in_mind%29 is also relevant. Small towns often exist for centuries--same cannot be said for small companies. Niteowlneils 18:50, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
