Dubious notability. Created by single-purpose account. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 03:37, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I noticed this article when someone added unhelpful links to Credit card. I cannot find (and the article certainly does not contain) sources that satisfy WP:CORP. There is no assertion of notability. It's just another another company seeking promotion. Johnuniq (talk) 04:17, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I noticed it when someone was adding links to Georgia Institute of Technology College of Management, where their CEO apparently graduated from. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 04:31, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Andrew please note this article is about a business run by a Georgia Tech alumni, Leland Strange who has been involved in the company in one way or another sine 1984. The article helps give background on other articles, VisionPlus was created by this compnay prior to them selling the rest of the business to First Data, First Data this compnay was spun out of First Data, TYSYS lists this compnay as a competitor, and one on prepaid cards the compnay makes products to support that market. There is no mention of any of the company’s current products or discussion of their current sales efforts. The artilce is very similiar to the articles on First Data and TYSYS. If you are nomintaing this for deletion then I suggest you do the same for TYSYS and First Data. Finally please note that it was reviewed by Trevor MacInnis and he said it was OK but needed more links which is why they were added to the other places. If the credit card one was not helpful we can delete it. Noswadmot (talk) 20:20, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying it should be deleted; this is a discussion as to whether the company is notable enough for Wikipedia. I think WP:CORP is the guideline there. Read that page, and if you can find some newspaper articles about the company and link them here then the article might be kept. The fact that it was created by a Georgia Tech alumni doesn't necessarily mean that the company is notable. I love Tech, but Wikipedia policies sadly do not take that into account :p —Disavian (talk/contribs) 23:49, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Would like to point out that this article is a cleanup of a previous artilce that was up for quit some time. The previous entry was not very refelective of what I have seen about other organizations and all I am trying to do is make it similiar to artilces about other companies, please look at TSYS and First Data, compnaies very similiar to CoreCard to judge. Here is a copy of the previous text so you can also compare the original entry to the new entry.

CoreCard Software, Inc. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search CoreCard Software, Inc., previously known as Delos Payment Systems, is a privately-held company based in Norcross, Georgia. The company was founded in April 2001 when it spun out of PaySys International (PaySys) prior to the completion of First Data Corporation’s acquisition of PaySys and its COBOL-based product line. CoreCard's largest investor is Intelligent Systems Corporation [AMEX: INS], a major shareholder of PaySys since 1993. Other institutional shareholders include Oak Investment Partners, Advent GECC, Grubb & Williams and Capital Resource Partners. Comprised primarily of engineers from PaySys’ research and development group, the company retained ownership of the intellectual property resulting from PaySys’ efforts to develop a flexible software platform and then re-wrote its industry-leading, full-featured card management and transaction processing software. Previously, the lack of viable and affordable technologies forced card issuers to either continue using in-house mainframe systems that were becoming increasingly expensive to maintain, or outsource this function completely. With outsourcing, issuers had to contend with lengthy contract terms and costly early terminations fees. Issuers also had to accept the lack of product differentiation, with no real-time access to customer data, and sometimes lackluster service. With three decades of domain expertise in the card industry, the CoreCard team is committed to providing financial service organizations with next-generation card applications that will help them compete both locally and globally. CoreCard’s value-based pricing and its ability to offer Tandem®-like throughput on Intel®-based hardware ensure that even organizations with as few as 10,000 card accounts in their portfolio will yield a return on their investment. CoreCard is currently providing issuing solutions for BankCard, Debit card, Credit card, Prepaid card, Corporate card, Fleet card, Reward card and Private Label card issuing solutions.

 * Weak Delete - I see many press releases. What little mention there is that is independent are all in relation to it as a subsidiary of Intelligent Systems Corporation which would be a merge target but as of this moment, no such article exists. -- Whpq (talk) 11:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
