Consco

 * – ( View AfD View log )

WP:NN company - sources are all press releases - unable to find significant mentions in RS. Tagged since December 2009. (Most G-hits are typos for other companies) Toddst1 (talk) 16:01, 6 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak keep Wp:notability looks borderline but likely.  Has encyclopedic informative content.  An apparently defunct company, content is probably not skewed by COI.  North8000 (talk) 16:57, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - The past tense is the savior here, they are selling nothing and documenting something. Stub article on a software firm of the past. Sourcing needs improvement. Carrite (talk) 00:27, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment – was pondering on a relist, as well, as this may need more discussion. Searching for "Consco enterprises" may help, where I found this as a result. –MuZemike 23:02, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - A software firm that was absorbed by CA in 1988 won't have the same easily googlable sourcing that more modern companies have. I found some significant coverage here in Computerworld.  They also reported the formation of a Consco Users Group.  Available only in a snippeet view, but this does cover them.  It's also unclear how signficant this item is.  But I think the sources found here for a pre-internet era company establish there is a high likely more sourcing is available offline. -- Whpq (talk) 13:53, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - per Whpq; though the current pr-newswire sourcing is bad, there does appear to be significant coverage elsewhere if one digs enough. Dialectric (talk) 10:11, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
