Spam. Only contribution from this user. Chris 07:17, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as spam. --MaNeMeBasat 12:00, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Meant to be a factual article about a company that's becoming relevant in the semiconductor industry. I believe it meets the notability and reference criteria. As for only contribution - you have to start somewhere. Trent.Tpoltron 18:01, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * delete as unencyclopedic. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 19:00, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * delete as spam for nn-company and conflict of interest. [User:Tpoltron]] is listed in company website as Director of Marketing. . Montco 04:16, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete reads like spam, and no evidence to support notability under WP:CORP. CiaranG 10:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Based on a couple of the better additional sources supplied below, the company seems notable to me. I don't like the conflict of interest, but I don't feel that alone is a reason for deletion. The article as it stands is still unencylopedic though, and needs a rewrite by someone without the COI.

TpoltronYes, I'm a marketing guy at IPextreme and was trying to create an unbiased entry on our company (and admittedly it can be hard not to drink your own Coolaid). I use Wikipedia almost daily and appreciate your efforts to keep it unbiased but IPextreme engineers have published papers on technologies such as Bluetooth: http://pd.pennnet.com/display_article/279061/21/ARTCL/none/none/Bluetooth_stereo_realized/ and FlexRay: http://www.automotivedesignline.com/howto/193501262. The company is significant because we are the exclusive worldwide source to license such notable technologies as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coldfire. IPextreme seems every bit as significant as many other companies with Wikipedia entries, can someone just verify and edit the entry as appropriate? thanx, trentTpoltron

Tpoltron 23:34, 12 February 2007 (UTC) I also posted this on the AfD note by the entry page in response to a request for published references written by others. I referenced these two articles that appeared in industry publications in my original submission: http://www.edn.com/article/CA6287336.html http://www.edn.com/article/CA6393624.html?partner=eb&nid=2961&rid=1057301298

Here are some others: New Electronics Magazine covering a speech from Senior Gartner Analyst that talks about the importance of large semiconductor making their technology available, through IPextreme: http://www.ip-extreme.com/downloads/NewElectronics_090107.pdf

From the UK equivalent of IEEE: http://www.ip-extreme.com/downloads/ESSAugSep06.pdf

From EE Times in the USA: http://www.eetimes.com/news/semi/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=193600746

An article about how we are shaking up the industry from France: http://silicon.fr/fr/silicon/news/2006/12/10/ip-soc-2006-l-industrie-semi

From Japan: http://www.ip-extreme.com/downloads/nikkeiBP_Article20061023.pdf

The articles from our engineers ran in technical industry trade magazines and jounrals.

I can supply more, or more in certain areas. Regards, Trent Tpoltron 23:34, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
