 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Puff piece for a company that fails WP:CORP and has since been bought out. The previous AfD was withdrawn, but the sources that caused the withdrawal don't seem to be suitable - those that aren't dead links or links to the company's website are minimal. FalconK (talk) 13:35, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Only because the company was acquired by Cisco and most of the company's coverage in RS is of the acquisition. Meatsgains (talk) 14:53, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Leaning Delete the PC World interview is the closest I can see to evidence anyone cares, but otherwise coverage I can find is just of their acquisition. Is there a suitable Cisco-related redirect target? - David Gerard (talk) 08:01, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as the first AfD was a pathetic excuse of an AfD and deletion listing, all sources are entirely unconvincing PR and simply republish what the company says, the listed interviews are speaking for themselves instead it's not actual news efforts of course, and nor should it be, it was simply to fill time and advertise the man and his company, there's no hopes or improvements when something only exists for advertising, and that's exactly what gets deleted.

 * Is this a WP:DEL8 notability argument, or a WP:DEL14 WP:NOT argument? Unscintillating (talk) 02:37, 5 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Wrong forum As this topic is part of Cisco Systems, it is a significant topic, so cannot be deleted, as per policy, for WP:DEL8.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:37, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I certainly wouldn't mind if it were merged into Cisco Systems, if that is what you're getting at here, though there is precious little to merge. FalconK (talk) 07:11, 5 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect - I would suggest List of acquisitions by Cisco Systems, but Cisco Systems is also quite plausible - David Gerard (talk) 12:04, 5 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect to List of acquisitions by Cisco Systems; the company does not appear to be notable independent of the acquisition, and no additional sources have been presented at this AfD. Otherwise, it's an advertorially toned content not suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia, such as:
 * In one second, StealthWatch shows you everyone infected by a particular piece of malware and which was the first device hit.

 * Selective Merge to List of acquisitions by Cisco Systems, which will improve the merge target article. North America1000 01:36, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
