Contested prod; original reason was "No sources, no assertion of notability, written by PR staff." My own opinion is provisional delete unless article is rewritten with independent sources. Chick Bowen 20:52, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Seen as a leader in the mailing list business. Referenced in the book "No Place to Hide" as one of the founders of the mailing list revolution. --Ispy1981 21:09, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * OK. Still needs to be rewritten. Chick Bowen 21:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep if okay Harlowraman 00:20, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Dunhilljoe makes clear that he works for the company here. Chick Bowen 00:28, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, spammy article, but notable company. WP:COI could tip it over but I think it could easily be improved. --Dhartung | Talk 02:43, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - unless a lot of changes are made. In its current form it's a blatant advertising/puff piece. -- Orange Mike 19:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Stubify and keep; sprotect if necessary. This is one of those cases where the subject is notable but the article is clearly unacceptable for our project.  Usual procedure in these cases seems to be to reduce the article to a stub and allow it to be restarted organically; however, I would additionally suggest that in this particular case the article also be sprotected if marketing copy continues to be inserted or if WP:COI issues continue to arise.

 * Delete, While the company may need an article, this is the worst of starts mired in COI. Until  ( 1 == 2 )  07:19, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
