EMazzanti Technologies

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Extremely promotional article with almost no third party press coverage. Almost all sources are press releases or the company's website. Google hits show up very little in terms of news coverage. CitizenNeutral (talk) 01:05, 20 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete Non-notable company. In addition some of the claims seem to be fake, for example the article says "On August 23, 2006, Mayor Newark Mayor Cory Booker issued a proclamation declaring the day "eMazzanti Technologies Day in Newark" but I could find no reference to this outside the company's website, in which the page shows a picture of the CEO and a black guy (who doesn't even look like Cory Booker) holding a plaque. Some of the other references are dead links - BigPimpinBrah (talk) 06:24, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Possible delete - Agreed, searching for references to support the Cory Booker comment didn't provide anything aside from another press release. They have several clients as these links and the Microsoft case study show but it seems the primary links outweigh the third-party news coverage. CIOL.com provided a few short articles about the company including one listed in this article which is now dead. What also concerns me is that the first four pages of Google News results are original or republished press releases until the sixth page where I found this crn.com article. On that same results page, I found another crn.com article for the WatchGuard partnership here. A large amount of press releases usually suggests the company hasn't received significant coverage and this somewhat seems to be case. Although the company has also received attention for goodwill work and for environmental work and has affiliated themselves with Microsoft and Symantec, articles about this are rather short. At CRN.com, I also found some brief mentions here, here, here and so on (ninth page of results, there's even one about the company giving away free backpacks). I very much recognize the company has received news attention (especially from crn.com) and for goodwill but, as mentioned, I also feel the press releases outweigh the news articles including the short news articles. I have no objection to userfying the article for future use. SwisterTwister   talk  19:42, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Another network management and consultation firm advertising on Wikipedia.  That's a superficially impressive collection of press release sources and petty trade awards. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:32, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
