Iconfactory
Vanity, non-notable. Rick Browser 18:50, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. How can the company that makes icons for Apple and Microsoft be non-notable?  Their website also says they have  Aladdin Systems, Cartoon Network Online, Macromedia, and Palm as customers.  Also, Sirevil (who created the page) doesn't appear to be affiliated with the company.  Article does need some cleanup, though.--Esprit15d 19:02, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I don't see them "creating icons for Apple and Microsoft", but creating free replacement icons. However, they claim some press coverage which is a lot better than what most other website articles here have. Kusma (討論) 19:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Well-known producer of icons and shareware. Notable, and I don't see the evidence of vanity. rodii 04:44, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. They have in fact created a number of icons used by major companies like Microsoft, including many of the icons in Windows XP, as well as the icon suite for Quicken 2004 for Mac OS X . Icon creation is certainly a niche market, but if Wikipedia were to have only one article on specific icon creators, these would be the guys. Nohat 06:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The original version was cleaned up to a NPOV, and the subject is notable.&#160;—  The KMan  talk  00:33, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. No evidence of vanity and definitely notable. Dread Lord C y b e r S k u l l ✎☠ 00:33, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. These guys made icons for Windows freaking XP, and are a major part of the Mac customization scene as well. Robertos Consuelos Garcias 04:15, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
