Article reads like an advertisement or a directory listing; even if the article were of an encyclopedic nature, the topic fails notability guidelines for organizations. Having many customers does not equate to "significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources" Ohspite (talk) 03:30, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Please note that this is only a small subsidiary of ITT Corporation. Most of the results on Google News about ITT Visual Information Solutions are press releases by them or their partners ESRI.Ohspite (talk) 14:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:Advertisement. Richard  ( talk ) 04:59, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep very large and well established company. Its hard to wade through all the foreign language articles and press releases in Google News, but there does appear to be some valid coverage. Icewedge (talk) 06:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with Icewedge, there do seem to be plenty of sources out there (22 just in 2008). I don't think it reads too much like an advert personally either but it could do with more sources being added. Smartse (talk) 09:54, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge with the parent business ITT Corporation: provides data-analysis software used by scientists, engineers, researchers, and medical professionals, and as such seems unlikely to ever receive independent coverage in general-interest publications. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:16, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, substantial company. No need to merge to ITT Corporation, that conglomerate is so huge, info would get lost.  If it reads too much like an ad, fix it. TJRC (talk) 21:21, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
