 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   keep. Notability appears to have been clearly proven during the course of the debate by Cunard and further concerns with the article are manageable enough to be resolved by regular editing. (A quick review of it showed that there is nothing really urgent, but some sections resemble company website info to some degree) Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:48, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Fails WP:ADS WP:CORP WP:SOFTWARE Delete Shortbrother (talk) 03:50, 5 September 2008 (UTC) ''Hi, I started this article and would like to discuss your reasons for deletion. I understand that I am the primary editor with few exceptions, but can that be an argument since I can't exactly seek out other users to edit it? I am an advocate for NPOV as well; please let me know if I can improve the article. Thanks for your dedication to improving Wikipedia! Kaitlin510 (talk) 19:54, 8 September 2008 (UTC)'' 
 * Delete Major COI issues, including one editor involved with the article and the company founder correcting his own name. If we can get an NPOV write-up of this, it can be saved, but in the current form, it's a NPOV nightmare.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 09:44, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I posted the following on Friday on this talk page: Nate, but thought it was more appropriately posted here. Also, welcome Shortbrother to the Wikipedia community, way to be bold with your first contribution.

 * Delete already. No reliable sources. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 00:49, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Cunard, multiple sources exist. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 02:21, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per this Google News Archive search. There are multiple articles from Forbes magazine as well as PR Newswire, Business Wire, and a number of other reliable sources. The article doesn't appear to be that spammy in its current form. I can only find fault with the section titled Hyland Software which contains several paragraphs of promotional material. I've since removed that. The article should not be deleted. This company is notable due the wide media coverage it has received. Cunard (talk) 01:13, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
