Echopass
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Echopass was created by a PR sockfarm and deleted; then recreated by what look like further socks. This was done in the months leading up to their recent acquisition last month.

The company does not seem notable; all of the refs are low-grade or tangential. It never accomplished any work of note. Normally I am an inclusionist in such matters: companies may eventually become notable, and for the most part I believe in letting young articles live.

In this case the article was known to be created for promotional purposes; and the company no longer exists, so it will never become notable. The above details were not noted during its first AfD, which had only a handful of votes and was closed without consensus. – SJ  +  02:27, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories. The article content just describes the steps the firm took along the way such as PCI DSS compliance and some passing mention; not enough for WP:CORPDEPTH. AllyD (talk) 09:00, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
