Lancope

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Despite initially promising results when searching on Google, Lancope does not appear notable per Notability (organizations and companies). Google Books hits discuss Lancope's StealthWatch products, but not the company itself (see Notability (organizations and companies)). Searching on Google News retrieved a colossal slog of press releases, which, as advertising, cannot count for notability. Other than that, there was a legitimate interview with David Cocchiara, a man who works for the company, but still no independent discussion of the company itself. I ask others to consider this one carefully, as I'm only human, and obviously didn't want to trudge through 600+ articles if they all appeared to be press releases. It's entirely possible that I've missed something.

As for the current state of the article itself, it's essentially an advertisement (I would have speedied under criterion G11, but it's at least somewhat informational and thus fails to meet that criterion). Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 16:50, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

We have more than just press release mentions, as seen here: http://www.lancope.com/news-events/in-the-news/

 * I've sifted through quite a few of those and am still unsure about notability. We need to see significant discussion of Lancope itself, not just passing mentions or discussion of its products. Could you point to any particular articles that give significant coverage of Lancope? As a side note, based on some of the articles I've seen, the StealthWatch system may merit its own article, regardless of the fate of the Lancope article.
